A 1925 Yankees sweater worn by Wally Pipp was featured on the 'Antiques Roadshow' season premiere

The eyes of the sports world were fastened on the College Football National Championship Game on Monday, but fans who happened to be watching (or recording) the season premiere of "Antiques Roadshow" were in for an extra treat.
