Default $1.265 million for Babe Ruth bat
Posted By: Scott Bob

The winning bid -- about half the $2.5 million it originally cost to build Yankee Stadium -- came from Doug Allen, president of the Chicago-based auction house MastroNet Inc., on behalf of an East Coast collector who preferred to remain anonymous. The hammer price was $1.1 million, with a 15 percent commission added.
