In 2019, what record was broken with the sale of a Babe Ruth jersey at auction?

A Babe Ruth New York Yankees jersey from 1928-1930 fetched $5.64 million at auction Saturday, making it the most expensive piece of sports memorabilia ever sold, according to the auction house. The previous record was a 1920 Babe Ruth jersey that went for $4.4 million.

The record-breaking jersey was part of a collection of artifacts related to “The Sultan of Swat,” as Ruth was also known, sold by Hunt Auctions at Yankee Stadium. The auction house said in a statement that it partnered with the baseball legend’s family and had select additions from “elite third-party collections” for the massive display.
