"The Sultan of Swat! The King of Crash! The Colossus of Clout! Babe Ruth—The Great Bambino!"

The legendary jersey worn by New York Yankees great Babe Ruth has been sold for more than $24 million at an auction in Dallas, Texas. Ruth wore the jersey when he called his shot during the 1932 World Series before slamming a home run to center field.

"It is the most dramatic moment in World Series history, and it may be the most dramatic moment ever in all of baseball," said Michael Gibbons, director emeritus and historian at the Babe Ruth Birthplace and Museum in Baltimore.

The jersey, which Heritage Auctions auctioned off for $24,120,000, is considered the "greatest sports collectible of all time."

The only other time the jersey was sold publically was 20-plus years ago when it sold for $975,000. 

"People said that the buyer was nuts for paying a million dollars for, you know, an old baseball jersey. But at the end of this auction, he's gonna be looking like a very smart man," said Chris Ivy from Heritage Auctions.

Ruth, known as "The Great Bambino," is widely regarded as baseball's most storied player. He won seven World Series titles and hit 714 home runs during his career.

In July, the jersey was brought back to Wrigley Field, where fans and players could see it up close. The jersey still bears unique stitching and stains, which Linda Ruth Tosetti (Ruth's granddaughter) believes might be from mustard.

"I'm sure he had his hot dogs, and he needed to have them throughout the game," Tosetti said.
