NEW YORK (Reuters) - The first auction of baseball memorabilia held at Yankee Stadium fetched more than $3 million over two days, including $110,000 for a 1955 game-worn autographed Mickey Mantle jersey, organizers said on Friday.
Other highlights included $30,000 for a Babe Ruth jersey and $26,000 for the organ played over the decades by stadium fixture Eddie Layton.
Yankee Manager Joe Torre's office chair fetched $5,500, a Yankee flag that was flown from the outfield sold for $9,000, and the 319-foot (97-meter) marker that once graced the outfield fence was won with a winning bid of $3,500.
The auction, conducted online on Thursday and then under a heated tent erected over the field box seats near third base on Friday, was staged by Yankees-Steiner Collectibles and Grey Flannel Auctions.
