This No. 99 is worth $160,000.
The jersey that Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge wore when he socked his first home run went at auction for $160,644.05 Sunday — fetching the highest price for a pro game-worn jersey in the last 15 years, according to auctioneer Steiner Sports.
“The bidding was fierce,” said CEO Brandon Steiner. “People love this kid.”
The price tag was a shock to the 25-year-old slugger.
“It’s pretty cool,” Judge said after the Yanks’ loss to Tampa on Sunday.
The rookie, who will earn $544,500 this year, said he wouldn’t mind a cut of the proceeds.
“I’m still waiting,” he joked.
Judge has already broken the team’s rookie-year home-run record set by Joe DiMaggio.
But he’s still unproven compared to baseball’s greats, suggesting Judge mania has hit fever pitch among die-hard Yankees fans, according to Joe Maddalena of memorabilia auctioneer Profiles in History.
“My guess is [the buyer is] a huge Yankee fan,” he told The Post. “If you have $200,000 and could buy any baseball jersey you want, this is not the best investment — you’d buy a Babe Ruth or a Mickey Mantle. No disrespect, but it’s a different thing.”
Judge hit the four-bagger during his first-ever major-league at-bat on Aug. 13, 2016, sending a pitch from Tampa Bay’s Matt Andriese off the railing above the center-field sports bar and into the netting above Monument Park.
He won the 2017 Home Run Derby and entered Sunday tied for the major league lead in home runs with 33 this season — though he’s hit a slump since the All-Star break, which ended July 14.
The first-game uniform fetched more than Steiner Sports anticipated.
In June, the company sold the jersey Judge wore during his first grand slam for just north of $45,000, and auctioneers expected Sunday’s sale to net “at the least double” that price, according to the item’s listing.
The jersey — which shows clay stains from a slide into first base and features a No. 8 sewn onto the left sleeve in honor of late Yankees great Yogi Berra — hit the high-water mark in an online auction with 22 bids, the company said Sunday.
The opening bid was $10,000, according to Steiner.
The $160,000 price tag included an auction-house commission.
A rare Judge rookie card produced by Topps in 2013 when Judge was drafted by the Yankees caught a whopping $14,000 on eBay in June. It was originally purchased for just $4.
