Whether Babe Ruth actually called his shot in the 1932 World Series against the Chicago Cubs remains in question, but the lure of that famous moment in the slugger’s illustrious career comes back to life with the jersey he wore in that game up for auction. Heritage Auctions is expecting that Ruth’s game-worn New York Yankees jersey from Game 3 of that series will go for $30 million.

"And when you look at images of Ruth from Game 3 of the ’32 World Series, it matches perfectly.
