Atlanta baseball legend Hammerin' Hank Aaron joined two other icons of the sport in breaking records at auction over the weekend.

Aaron's signed Milwaukee Braves zip-up jersey that he wore during his 1954 rookie season sold for $2.1 million.

Heritage Auctions says that price smashes the previous record from 2021, when the company sold Aaron's 1970 Braves uniform from the day he recorded his 3,000th career hit. That uniform sold for $540,000.

At the same auction, a Babe Ruth jersey went for over $24 million - making it the most valuable sports collectible in history.

A Jackie Robinson jersey from 1951 sold for over $5.
