Who Can Really Say?

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.]
