A jersey Babe Ruth wore during his iconic "called shot" home run in the 1932 World Series was auctioned off for over $24 million. It is the highest price ever paid for a piece of sports memorabilia. The jersey sold for nearly double the previous record held by a 1952 Mickey Mantle baseball card. The identity of the buyer remains undisclosed. This auction marked the jersey's first sale since 2005 when it sold for $940,000 before its authentication.
