Hunt Auctions, sold a jacket worn by Lou Gehrig the day he took himself out of the lineup and ended his streak in 1939 for a record $373,750 at the 2008 MLB Live Auction at DHL All-Star FanFest. More than 975 items, including the personal collections of Yankees greats Whitey Ford and Thurman Munson, were sold during a two-day auction July 14-15 at the Jacob Javits Center in New York City.

Other items sold during today, day two of the auction, include Babe Ruth’s Historic 712th home run autographed baseball ($172,500), Tony Lazzeri’s 1928 New York Yankees World Series ring ($48,875), and a Jackie Robinson game-used bat ($92,000).

The first day of Hunt Auctions' FanFest sale is in the books and it held as much action as the Home Run Derby.

Lot 80, the Babe Ruth game-worn cap stole the show during the first installment of the sale selling at $327,750, but it was a 1978 Thurman Munson All-Star game ring that was the biggest surprise, tallying nine times the high estimate ($36,800).

"The most surprising items in the auction have been the Thurman Munson rings," said Dan Schmidt, Hunt's auction manager. "You know how it is in auctions when you have the back and the forth. That one crept up from below $10,000 and just kept going back and forth and back and forth. And that really riles up the crowd. And that was perfect because it led into the MVP trophy and the World Series ring."

Jim Corbett signed ball, 500 HR Club signed banjo formerly owned by Babe Ruth among the hihglights.
