The uniform worn by Babe Ruth, "the legend of American professional baseball," when he hit a "pre-announced home run" in the 1932 World Series broke the record for the highest price ever for sporting goods auction. AFP reported the news on the 26th (Korea time), citing the announcement of Heritage Auction.

According to Heritage Auction, the uniform that Ruth wore against the Chicago Cubs for the New York Yankees in Game 3 of the 1932 World Series sold for a whopping $13.3 million, including fees. This exceeds the $12.6 million that was sold as a Mickey Mantle baseball card in August 2022.

The "announced home run" Ruth hit in the uniform is one of the most iconic moments in baseball history, and the auction price of the uniform seems to reflect its historical value. The auction will continue until August 24, and experts predict that the final price of the uniform could go up to $30 million (W41.5 billion).

The auction broke the previous record for the most expensive sportswear ever sold, which was set in September 2022 when Michael Jordan Judge, who wore it in Game 1 of the 1998 NBA Finals, sold for $10.1 million at Sotheby's.
