Gotovo 100 godina stara bejzbolska palica kojom se služio legendarni igrač New York Yankeesa Lou Gehrig prodana je na dražbi za više od milijun dolara.
Palica 'Louisville Slugger'
Ravnatelj aukcijske kuće Heritage Auctions Chris Ivy izjavio je kako je Gehrigova palica tipa Louisville Slugger kojom se koristio tijekom 1920-ih prodana za 1.025 milijuna dolara privatnom kupcu.
Ipak nije postala najskuplja
Iako prodana za više od milijun dolara, Gehrigova palica ipak nije postala najskuplja, jer je jedna palica Babea Rutha, njegova suigrača iz Yankeesa iz 1920-ih i 1930-ih godina, 2004. prodana za 1.3 milijuna dolara.
