Proceeds go to charity ... winner of the auction will go to bat for the minor league St. Paul Saints (independent Northern League) in an exhibition game.

Any takers?

I'd go for it but a) I'm completely out of shape b) I wear glasses but don't have contact lenses c) this is going to end up way too rich for my blood. Earlier today it was at $500 or so and it's already at $1,275. [edit: up to $2,625 now.]

If you still don't believe me check out the team's Web site.

I think that dude wore the number 2/3 or something like that. I know it was a fraction.

My kickball league won't even let me play anymore. Like nobody ever pukes on home plate after hitting a home run!

I wish we weren't in the middle of buying a house. I'd love to bid on that.

I'd do it, but $2,650 seems like a lot of money to strike out.
