Chapter 52: Yankee's Pride

The fifth warehouse started shooting soon.

   This warehouse is very valuable, but everything is in the clear. The competition is the thickness of the bidder's wallet. This is destined to be very competitive, and it is completely close to each other!

   The things in the warehouse are not antique artworks, but industrial printing equipment, which is very troublesome to handle, so Ye Tian resisted the impulse and did not participate in the competition.

   He was a bystander quietly, waited for the auction to end, and then went into his warehouse to dig for treasure.

   After a fierce competition, this warehouse was taken into the arms of a professional treasure hunter from Queens for US$26,000.

   So far, all five warehouses have been sold, and the auction is over.

   Next, Ye Tian, ​​together with the other successful bidders, followed the auctioneer Jack back to the office to complete the last formalities, settle the payment, and truly took the warehouse into his own hands.

  The rest did not leave. Everyone gathered at the gate of the third warehouse, waiting for William to return, and unveiling the veil of the classic car warehouse in public.

   Now that I ran into it, I can't miss it!

  All car lovers are present. Everyone wants to see this vintage car. In addition to satisfying curiosity and seeing the antique car, they also want to see if it is worth 38,000 US dollars!

At the same time.

   Everyone has not forgotten the dispute between Ye Tian and Welch. I want to know who the two are a idiot and an idiot!

   In the eyes of everyone at the scene, Ye Tian is far ahead and closer to the idiot hat! It is more likely to put this hat on your head and become synonymous with stupid!

   But the ultimate winner of this dispute will have to wait for Ye Tian to reopen the second warehouse before he knows it!

   The checkout and payment process was very fast. After ten minutes, William returned to the classic car warehouse excitedly.

  As everyone expected, he was going to clean up the warehouse first.

   This is a principle of warehouse auctions, first clean up the most valuable warehouse, the most valuable goods!

   Ye Tian also came, but he didn't stay here to watch the good show.

   The ending has already been spoiled, and it doesn't make much sense to watch it. It's nothing more than William's grief and death!

  He walked straight into the crowd and said to the cheerful Jason:

   "I went to the household goods warehouse. After this is over, you will bring the people from the second-hand store over and dispose of the old goods!"

   "Okay, you go first, I will come later"

   Jason nodded in response.

   Then Ye Tian turned around and left. When he left, he looked at William specially, his eyes full of pity!

  Poor Irishman!

  ...

   The furniture supplies warehouse is empty.

   This is undoubtedly the best time to dig treasures, there is no need to worry about being disturbed or leaking secrets.

   Suppressed the excitement, Ye Tian took out the key and opened the warehouse containing the treasure.

  Start digging treasure!

   After entering the warehouse, he turned his hand back and pulled the rolling door halfway down, blocking the line of sight from outside.

   then walked to the shelf in two steps, took down the storage box containing the baseball collection and put it aside, and then took the other storage boxes and put them on the ground.

   Ye Tian didn't go to admire the baseball collection immediately, but first opened the remaining storage boxes.

  As seen before, these storage bins are filled with old clothes, and there is nothing worthy of attention.

   He quickly turned each storage box upside down, and after making some illusions of cleaning up, he pushed them aside, focusing entirely on the baseball collection box.

   The exciting time has come!

   "Hoo--!"

   Ye Tian took a breath, adjusted his mood and breathing, and then reached out and lifted the lid of the storage box.

   The next moment, a dozen signed baseballs and hundreds of beautifully packaged baseball cards in the sorting box clearly appeared in his eyes.

  Especially those antique signed baseballs and baseball cards that emit white light, they attracted his eyes firmly, and he was not willing to move away for a second!

   What flashed in his eyes and mind at this time was not a passionate home run or the great Yankees, but a green dollar falling from the sky!

   I don't love baseball, but I love dollars!

   After looking at the treasure in the box for a while, Ye Tian reached out and took out the oldest signed baseball and began to study it carefully.

  The baseball is packed in a square transparent plexiglass box. It emits white light and is well protected. It has no flaws except for the signs of normal years. It is a perfect baseball collection.

   Through the glass box, you can clearly see the signature on the baseball, a string of beautiful handwritten swashes in English.

  'Iron Horse - Lou Gehrig'

   "Gosh! Yankee's Pride!"

   An exclamation suddenly sounded from the warehouse, with endless ecstasy and shock in the voice!

After exclaimed, Ye Tian was completely sluggish, he was so excited that he was almost crazy! There was an incredible look in his eyes!

   Fortunately, he is the only one here. If others hear this exclamation, it will definitely cause a huge sensation.

   As long as someone who knows a little about the history of the New York Yankees, it is impossible not to know 'Yankee's Pride' Lou Gehrig! He was born in New York and is also known as the "The Yankee Prince".

  Lou Gehrig, a professional baseball first baseman, has played for the New York Yankees all his life. He is known for his high stability and not easy to get injured, so he earned the nickname "Iron Horse".

Together with the "God of Baseball" Babe Ruth, he formed the greatest three-four strong hitting line in history. The Ruth-Gehrig connection. At the peak, the two of them had just home runs in a season. Equivalent to a quarter of the entire league!

   The two ruled the baseball world in the 1830s together! Created a miraculous brilliant record, and countless records that seem to never be broken!

It was because of his and Babe Ruth's strong that the Yankees won one world championship after another, truly stood on top of the world, became the greatest baseball team, and the best sports team in the history of world sports. .

Gehrig has a great record of 2,130 consecutive games. It was not until 2004 that he was broken by the Baltimore Orioles' Iron Man Ripken.

   He is the prototype of the Oscar-nominated movie "The Pride of theYankees". He was inducted into the Hall of Fame unanimously in the year he retired. He was the first professional baseball player in history to retire with the back number of his jersey.

   The famous speech "The Luckiest Man on Earth" in the history of sports originated from him, which moved and inspired countless people.

   And he is the most unfortunate person!

   He was diagnosed with 'amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (Lou Gehrig's disease) late in his career' and had to end his sports career. Two years after retiring, he died at the age of just 38!

   And now, one of the greatest players in baseball history, known as the proud 'Yankee Pride' of New Yorkers, Gehrig's signature baseball is in his own hands. How could Ye Tian not be ecstatic and shocked!

   Fortunately, he is not a baseball fan, and he can control his emotions at this time.

   If you switch to a New York Yankees fan, the moment you see this signature baseball, I am afraid that you will be completely crazy!

   Appreciating the signature baseball, and recalling Lou Gehrig's brilliant sports career, Ye Tian is also evaluating the value of this signature baseball.

   If it is auctioned, I am afraid it will be more than one million dollars!

   Ye Tian is very sure of this valuation!

   This is New York, the home of the Yankees. More than half of the city's population are their fans. For the signature baseball of one of the greatest players in the history of the team, countless people would like to have it.

   And New York has never lacked wealthy people and crazy collectors who are spending huge sums of money. The million-dollar valuation may be a bit conservative!

After drunkly admiring this precious signature baseball, Ye Tian carefully put it back in the sorting box, and then began to check the other baseballs.

   Another signature baseball with white light, from the mid-1940s star Paul Waner, is also a member of the Baseball Hall of Fame.

   The rest are the signature baseballs of famous stars after the 1970s. The most famous figures in the history of the Yankees are also well-known in the history of professional baseball!

   The information was checked by Ye Tian on the Internet using his mobile phone. It was very accurate, and nothing was missed!

   Although they are also baseball superstars, their signature baseball is not that exaggerated.

  Paul Waner's signature baseball is the most expensive, estimated to be less than $200,000. The others are relatively low, but they are also expensive. They are all very good baseball collections.

   After playing baseball for a while, and Ye Tian began to check a huge number of baseball cards.

   Time is limited, and it is too late to appreciate it carefully. He only looked at the few antique baseball cards with white light.

   These are all baseball cards of famous Yankees players and most of them are Hall of Fame players.

  Although they are not as expensive as Wagner's sky-high baseball cards and Gehrig's signature baseballs, they are also very valuable and are very precious collectibles.

  Because of the large number of these baseball cards, the value of these baseball cards together is also very amazing. There shouldn't be any problems with one or two million dollars.

   At this point, Ye Tian was already excited and about to cheer.

   It's so right to choose to come to Long Island today! This is worthy of being a residential area for the rich, and it really allows me to dig a treasure!

   This gain is no less than the previous Ferrari sports car model, even higher!

   When was looking through these exquisite baseball cards, suddenly there was a loud noise outside the warehouse, and people's chaotic footsteps.

   Jason and other treasure diggers should have come here!

   Ye Tian smiled, and quickly put the baseball card back into the box and hid it.

   Only Paul Waner's signed baseball card and a baseball of a famous contemporary star were left outside.

   These two collections are enough to make Welch firmly wear an idiot hat. As for other baseball and baseball cards, don't let them see it, so as not to shock them!

   Especially Gehrig's signature baseball, if taken out, it will definitely make everyone crazy, and the scene may even get out of control!

   Ye Tian quickly finished cleaning up, and then he quickly scanned the warehouse, and even looked through it again, without letting go of a corner!

   After making sure that there was nothing left, he reached out and pushed up the rolling door, holding the baseball box and walking out.

   At this time, the sun is shining brightly.

   Especially seeing Welch following Jason, he smiled happily!

   The fool is here!
