Babe Ruth Bat On Auction December 2, 2004

The bat used by Babe Ruth to hit his first homerun in Yankee Stadium in 1923 will go on auction on Dec 2 and should bring around $1 mil. Is $1 mil worth it for a bat? What about the guy who paid $3 mil for Mark McGwire's 70th HR bat, bet he is sorry he owns that. I would think Babe's bat would be worth way more than a McGwire bat, he used it in 1923! If you could get this bat for only $1 mil I think you could make money on it, maybe you could flip it to Steinbrenner for $1.5 or a Red Sox fan so they could destroy it.

Maybe you can still get a smoking deal on a Babe Ruth bat from Angelo Marino, Tony Marino (Apple Valley), Barry Albert (Riverside), and the other frauds of the Operation Bullpen bust, they are probably out of jail now and back in business again.
