Grown men don’t worship their sports heroes by wearing their jerseys.
No, they do something altogether more adult: they buy really expensive memorabilia.
Helping you do just that: the Platinum Night Sports Auction by Heritage Auctions, taking bids now.
Up for the taking: signed and authenticated gear from Ali, Ruth, Jeter, Robinson, Montana, Bird and more.
The highlights:
- Babe Ruth’s 702nd home run baseball, Jeter’s ‘99 World Series bat, a ball signed by both Joe DiMaggio and Marilyn Monroe and a Lou Gehrig signed ticket stub from the night of the Iron Horse’s farewell
- Muhammad Ali’s gloves from the 1971 “Fight of the Century” with Joe Frazier (pictured above)
- Michael Jordan’s record-breaking $33 million contract
Plus: a signed ball from Jackie Robinson, multiple World Series rings and a copy of a 1921 Green Bay Packers game program, mysteriously dubbed “The Dope Sheet.”
Hey, it was a more innocent time.
