    Babe Ruth's 500th homer bat sells for more than $1 million

    Babe Ruth has hit another one out of the ballpark.The bat used by the legendary baseball player to hit his 500th home run was auctioned on Saturday for more than $1 million.
    SCP Auctions didn't identify the buyer. The auction was held in Laguna Niguel, California.
    Ruth hit his 500th homer on Aug. 11, 1929, in a game against the Indians. According to SCP Auctions, the ball cleared the right-field wall at League Park and rolled down Lexington Avenue.

    Ruth was the first of just 27 Major League Baseball players to reach that mark.
    He gave the autographed bat to his friend, former Suffern, New York, Mayor Jim Rice, in the 1940s. It has been in the family for nearly 75 years.
    Another Ruth bat used to hit the first home run out of Yankee Stadium in 1923 sold for nearly $1.3 million in 2004.
