Geddy Lee, famously known as the bassist and lead singer of acclaimed rock band Rush, will be auctioning off a portion of his enviable baseball memorabilia collection.
For over 40 years, the musician has been building the collection, which includes balls and bats signed by some of the game's most renowned figures like Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Josh Gibson, Cal Ripken Jr., Albert Pujols and more, according to MLB.com.
"Baseballs, nobody owns them," Lee recently told The Athletic about his collection. "They're like houses. You take care of them for a while, and then they move on to the next person, the next custodian." Lee's collection not only connects with sports history but also intertwines with significant moments in American history.
And then there is a ball signed by all four members of the Beatles from their 1965 show at Shea Stadium, which is estimated to sell for up to $300,000.
