Another Babe Ruth Pocket Watch Sold At Auction

An awesome piece of memorabilia.

Babe Ruth's pocket watch, engraved with "The House that Ruth Built" was sold at auction yesterday for $650,108. The piece was presented to Ruth in 1948 in honor of the 25th anniversary of the opening of Yankee Stadium.

This isn't first of Ruth's pocket watches to bring in some serious cash at auction. Another went for $717K in February.
