Does it matter if Babe Ruth ‘called shot’ in 1932 World Series? His jersey sells for $24 million
LA TimesBabe Ruth’s game-worn New York Yankees “called shot” jersey from the 1932 World Series against the Chicago Cubs sold for $24 million on Sunday. Babe Ruth’s New York Yankees jersey from his supposed “called shot” home run in the 1932 World Series has sold for $24 million, cementing its place as the most valuable piece of sports memorabilia. But a 1995 Times article detailed a recent review of the evidence from that day, and found little indication that it occurred as the tale has perpetuated, calling it “the baseball legend that won’t die.” Sports Point Is, He Didn’t: Conference Lays to Rest Myth of Ruth’s Called Shot Hofstra University, better known for its scholarly conferences on presidents, recently convened one to celebrate the life of a baseball player who once gloated about making more money than a U.S. “The legend of Babe Ruth and the myth and mystery surrounding his ‘called shot’ are united in this one extraordinary artifact.”
