Tom Hanks-worn baseball uniform from 'A League of Their Own' is up for auction
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}A nearly pristine baseball uniform worn by acting great Tom Hanks in “A League of Their Own” is currently available for fans to bid on.
Hosted by the sports memorabilia and card auction site Lelands, you can place your bid on the items Hanks donned in 1992 as the hard-drinking, disgruntled manager Jimmy Dugan, the former big-league superstar who hit nearly 500 home runs -- 58 in 1936 alone -- and is the man behind the famed phrase: “There’s no crying in baseball!”
The items in the lot include Hanks’ jersey, trousers, belt, cap and the leggings he wore in the World War II period piece.
