Babe Ruth bat sells for record $1.85M after 'photographic corroboration'​


Hunt Auctions has announced the private sale of a bat used by Babe Ruth circa 1920-21 for $1.85 million, a record price for a baseball bat. The previous record also belonged to a Ruth bat, one that sold privately for $1.68 million by Heritage Auctions last August. According to Hunt Auctions, the new record holder is the "only known example to offer photographic corroboration."The "Polo Grounds" bat, as it's colloquially known for the stadium the New York Yankees played their home games in until 1922, is matched to a 1921 photo of Ruth swinging it.

Trevor Bauer 'ready to compete,' debuts in Japanese minors​


Shunned by Major League Baseball clubs, Trevor Bauer is trying to find his way in Japan, where fans are drawn by his celebrity status and seem unconcerned by domestic violence allegations against him.

MLB commissioner Rob Manfred suspended Bauer in April 2022 after a San Diego woman said he beat and sexually abused her in 2021.
