'Miracle On Ice' jersey going to auction in NYC

NEW YORK (AP) — Mike Eruzione's sensational winning goal against the Soviet hockey team at the 1980 Winter Olympics will forever be remembered as the "Miracle On Ice" — perhaps the greatest sporting moment of the 20th century.

More than a generation later, the 58-year-old Eruzione is parting with his iconic No. 21 USA jersey, hockey stick and other Olympic paraphernalia. Dallas-based Heritage Auctions is selling the items in New York on Feb. 23, the day after the 33rd anniversary of the historic game.

The white jersey alone is expected to fetch more than $1 million, but sports memorabilia experts think it could go considerably higher.
