From CNN's online sports page:

NEW YORK (AP) -- Seventy-five years after Babe Ruth hit the first home run at Yankee Stadium, the ball soared again -- this time in bidding at a sports memorabilia auction.

The ball, discovered in a New Jersey attic two years ago, was sold for a record $126,500 early this [Friday, November 11th] morning.

Good Lord, Ruth sure could hit baseballs a long distance.
