$1.26 Mil - GoFuckYourself.com

NEW YORK - Going, going, gone. The massive 46-ounce Louisville Slugger used by Babe Ruth to drill the first home run in Yankee Stadium history was sold for a record $1.26 million Thursday to an unidentified private collector.

The bat, 36 inches of solid ash billed as "The Holy Grail of sports memorabilia," sold after about one minute of high-stakes bidding at Sotheby's auction house, fetching a Ruthian price above its presale estimate of $1 million, said Sotheby's spokeswoman Lauren Gioia.

The bat was only the third piece of sports memorabilia to break the $1 million mark at auction, joining Mark McGwire's 70th home run ball ($3 million) and a 1909 Honus Wagner baseball card ($1.265 million), the auction house said. It was the most ever paid for a baseball bat.

Biggest waste of money in history. The guy could have had the Ruth bat AND the Wagner rookie for that price.

That was a good investment, and I am not being sarcastic. People freak out when they hear about people paying $1 million plus dollars for a bat, or multi millions for a painting or whatever, but that kind of thing never depreciates. Whoever bought that just made a better investment than if he would have bought real estate or most other things.

Nah, I spent a fortune on men.co but the fuckers in Columbia just keep keying in hombre.co

yuvalus · 12-07-2004, 02:58 AM

paying $1.3 M for such thing is a crime

Kard63 · 12-07-2004, 03:05 AM

I'd much rather have the Ruth bat than a modern day steriod recod ball but for that kind of money you could buy a great 3 letter domain

woj · 12-07-2004, 03:13 AM

Didnt the ball beckham kicked into the stadium crowds during the last European Soccer Cub go for a lot more?

Maybe it should have said Baseball memorabilia?

Anyways still a damn nice item and price
