Wow, the bidders were busy last night. When we last looked in on the Bats' pink jersey auction, Joey Votto was in the lead, followed by Mark Bellhorn.
We have a new leader this morning: catcher Ryan Jorgensen, whose jersey has a $310 bid. (Wonder if they spelled his name right this time?) In second place is Jay Bruce, whose jersey is currently going for $290. Former frontrunner Joey Votto's jersey is up to $280. In fourth place is Mark Bellhorn, now at $245. Fifth place is held by Paul Janish's jersey, at $210.
The bidding remains open until midnight September 3, so there's plenty of time. There was a lot of last-minute action in the last Bats charity auction.
And over on eBay, there's this auction. It's a Bubba Crosby game-used bat. Black, maple, with "19" written on the end.
(Last season, Bubba lost his bat into the stands in Columbus, when it slipped out of his grip on a swing. I wonder if this is it?)
Anyway, it's a nice item. It already has a bid from someone who appears to be a fan of Bubba's, judging from his/her user ID.
