This piece, along with a 1938 Lou Gehrig jersey and autographed Babe Ruth materials including a game-used bat from the slugger and one of the finest single-signed baseballs, will make the auction one for the record books. President Doug Allen also said to watch the Ken Griffey, Jr. 600th home run ball.
