One of the first bats used in Lou Gehrig’s Hall of Fame career was just purchased for over one million dollars.
Heritage Auctions said Gehrig first started using the bat during his college days at Columbia University, then continued to use it with the Hartford Senators and earliest New York Yankees days.

An expert said, “It was one of Gehrig’s favorite bats and one he likely used over several seasons. I believe that it’s the most significant Gehrig bat in the hobby.”
The final price tag for Gehrig’s bat: $1,025,000.
