1992 John Goodman

John Goodman’s Screen-Worn New York Yankees Jersey from “The Babe”

An Iconic Piece of Cinematic and Baseball History

Step into the world of cinema and baseball with this extraordinary baseball memorabilia piece—a New York Yankees road flannel jersey worn by John Goodman in the 1992 sports drama, “The Babe.” This film chronicles the life of George Herman “Babe” Ruth, a legendary figure who transformed from a troubled youth into one of the most celebrated baseball players in history. Ruth’s journey from the Boston Red Sox to the New York Yankees is a tale of triumph and legacy, and this jersey captures a part of that storied narrative.
