00:00This stained Yankees jersey could sell for $30 million.
00:07Yep, $30 million for a jersey.
00:11It belonged to Babe Ruth, one of the greatest baseball players of all time.
00:17The so-called Selton of Swat wore it in Game 3 of the 1932 World Series.
00:23That game is famous because of the called shot.
00:28Legend has it Ruth pointed to a specific area after his opponents taunted him.
00:34He then smacked the ball to that exact place, scoring a home run.
00:39The jersey sold for less than a million dollars back in 2005, but that was before experts
00:45discovered that Ruth wore it in this particular game.
00:50The current record for a sports collectible is $12.6 million for this Mickey Mantle baseball
00:56card.
00:57The jersey will go on auction later this month, and experts say it will sell for at
01:02least $30 million, smashing the record, just like Ruth smashed home runs.
