Now you can own a piece of the biggest sports upset in history, but it comes with a huge price tag.

According to SportsCollectorsDaily.com, Mike Eruzione is selling his game jersey and stick from the 'Miracle on Ice,' the 1980 Winter Olympics game in which the U.S. hockey team beat the heavily favored Soviet Union in Lake Placid, N.Y.

Eruzione, who was the team captain, is selling his No. 21 jersey and the stick he used to score the game-winning goal in the 4-3 victory.

The presale estimate for the jersey is $1 million, according to SportsCollectorsDaily.com. The items are set to be auctioned at Heritage Auction's Winter Platinum Night next February in Manhattan.
