Scully’s memorabilia brings $2 million

Items from the personal collection of Hall of Fame broadcaster Vin Scully sold at auction for over $2 million, including World Series rings from the Dodgers’ championships in 1955 and 1988.

Each ring sold for $188,000 during online bidding that ended Wednesday, according to David Hunt, owner of Hunt Auctions in Exton, Pa. The Dodgers won their only World Series title in Brooklyn in 1955, and their most recent title was won in Los Angeles in 1988.

Scully and his wife, Sandra, plan to use some of the auction proceeds to help their five children, 16 grandchildren and three greatgrandchildren with expenses that include parochial school tuition. The rest of the proceeds will be donated to UCLA for neuromuscular research. Scully said his wife suffers from a condition related to amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, the incurable disease that forced Yankees first baseman Lou Gehrig to retire at 36.

Series ($83,425); his ring from the 1963 World Series ($76,375); His personal scorebook from his final season behind the mic for the Dodgers in 2016 ($82,250); A World Series trophy presented to Scully in 1981 ($70,500); a similar trophy from the 1988 World Series ($64,625); An autograph that Scully obtained in person from Babe Ruth ($18,800); and a baseball signed by President Ronald Reagan ($11,750).
