Babe Ruth’s old shirt sold for four and a half million dollars this weekend. That means it made more money than you or I will over the courses of our lifetimes (unless, of course, you're Mark Zuckerberg).
You could have the greatest weekend of your life and it won’t equal what one of Babe Ruth’s old shirts accomplished this past Saturday.
Babe Ruth’s old shirt, which hasn’t gone anywhere or done anything for 91 years, made four and a half million dollars Saturday. I made nothing. "Okay," I hear you saying. "But you're not a baseball player." True. So, for comparison, how about this: Alex Rodriguez made $209,700 last Saturday. Babe Ruth's shirt kicked his ass.
Ruth died just after World War Two. The Babe's zombie shirt, undead, has risen from the grave and cashed a check. The previous all time price for a piece of some dead guy’s sports belongings was 4.3 million for James Naismith’s original hand written rules of basketball, the game he invented.
