The owner of a Babe Ruth uniform worn during a barnstorming tour of Japan in 1934 has loaned it to the Little League Baseball Museum in Williamsport, PA.
The museum, which is in the final days of a major renovation project, will use the gray flannel uniform as one of its primary attractions.
Likely worth more than $1 million, the uniform arrived Tuesday via armored truck and was carried through a side door by a guard in a bulletproof vest, according to an Associated Press reporter who was there.
The uniform, which includes pants and stirrup socks that still carry a dirt stain, is going on public display for the first time.
The museum is on the grounds of the field that host the annual Little League World Series.
