On the auction block…
Courtesy of Baseball Think Factory, I have discovered MLB.com’s online auction site. You or I have junk, we throw it away. A major league baseball team has junk, they try to sell it to the highest bidder. These are prime items here.
A game-used locker nameplate from the ALDS, for A’s third-base coach Mike Gallego.
A game-used baseball from a Henry Urrutia single.
Cubs coach Jamie Quirk’s team-issued pants.
Sign used during AL Wild Card game, Indians vs. Rays, labeling the “Still Photography Workroom.”
Rockies game-used lineup card from a random game in May 2009 (can be yours for just $1.00!).
And, finally, just for Thanksgiving, Brewers pitcher Jim Henderson’s turkey-shaped hand tracing.
Happy bidding!
