The contract that sent Babe Ruth from the Red Sox to the Yankees — sparking the “Curse of the Bambino” — has hit the auction block, along with his 1927 World Series ring.
The nearly 100-year-old document is being offered up by Lelands.com in their first Annual Invitational Auction.
Bidding started Tuesday at $100,000 — the original price that the Red Sox got for the Sultan of Swat in 1919 — and will remain open until June 30, according to the website.
Five people on Tuesday night were already vying for the contract, which was signed by team owners Jacob Ruppert and Harry Frazee.
