NEW YORK (AP) Two of the most prized items of Babe Ruth memorabilia – both owned by actor Charlie Sheen – sold for more than $2 million each at auction.
Ruth’s 1927 World Series ring had a winning bid of $2,093,927 at the first Lelands.com Invitational Auction. The 1919 contract of Ruth’s sale from the Red Sox to the Yankees went for $2,303,320. Both started with bids of $100,000.
Leland’s said the winning bidders had not come forward as of Saturday. Earlier in the week, Sheen revealed himself as previous owner.
”These record-breaking prices show once again that Babe Ruth dominates the baseball auction world the same way he did the game,” Lelands.
