$1.26 Mil

12-02-2004, 02:56 PM

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.

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
