Babe Ruth's bat at Sotheby's
[ QUOTE ]
Highlighting the sale will be "The Holy Grail" of sports memorabilia, the bat with which Babe Ruth slammed the first home run in the new Yankee Stadium on April 18, 1923, which will return to New York and be on view to the public for the first time in more than 80 years. Other outstanding treasures to be offered include the third finest known example of the legendary T206 Honus Wagner card (est. $375/500,000); the largest known signed photograph of Babe Ruth from 1920 (est. $100/150,000); Mickey Mantle's First Major League Home Run Ball (est. $165/200,000)
