Dickerson's jersey from record-setting game sells at auction

[PonyPride]

From the press release:

... Ruth’s jersey wasn’t the sole item in this auction to stir a bidding war that lasted well into the wee small hours of Sunday morning. So, too, did the Los Angeles Rams jersey Eric Dickerson wore on Dec. 9, 1984, when he ran for 215 yards against the Houston Oilers to become pro football’s single-season rushing leader. Not only has it been photo-matched to that historic moment, but the former member of SMU’s Pony Express detailed with a Sharpie its significance in the annals of NFL history: “New N.F.L. Record, 2007 yds., 12-9-84, Los Angeles Rams 27, Houston Oilers 16.”

By the time it sold Sunday, it had smashed through its pre-auction estimate to realize $252,000.
