Babe's Bat


The bat that Babe Ruth used to hit the first home run in Yankee Stadium, in a winning game against the Red Sox, is for sale tomorrow at Sotheby's. Sorry for the short notice.
My questions - can anyone even imagine some memorabilia of comparable value? This bat has the greatest player in the most famous stadium against their legendary rival - try and top that.

Secondly, does this bat stay in the US, or go to Japan? Ahhh!

I have a rooting interest - my son and some dads were invited to a showing last night, and the display is as cool as you might hope.
I bid 3 quatloos. [sigh.]

I didn't know you had a son! You've kept this a secret for a long time.
