It's Ebay Treasure Hunting Time!!

by Eric Horowitz, ShakedownSports

Ahh, the wonders of Ebay. Where would society be without it bringing the free market closer to equilibrium by uniting buyers and sellers? Here's a look at just a few of the priceless items Ebay has to offer this week.

Quilt Made By Orioles Wives in 1981
It's the perfect thing to cover your eyes during the horror of John Parrish's next appearance. Not only that, but you and only you will know the seamstress skills of Jim Palmer's wife. For only $1,500 it's a steal.


Autographed Minor League Game Worn Pants
With these pants you can know what it's like to be Reds prospect Jay Bruce. This could also be your last chance to get your hands on Bruce's crotch sweat before he become a big league star and the price of his crotch sweat quadruples. All it will cost is $2,500.


Lewis Hamilton Used Overalls
If baseball pants aren't your thing, how about some overalls worn by F-1 super rookie Lewis Hamilton. At $27,000, it costs less than the reconstructive surgery needed from being hit by an errant tire at an F-1 race. Whether you want to support 42 corporations at the same time, or just get drunk with some buddies and quote Talladega Nights---it's the perfect outfit.


Handwritten Note From W.G. Grace, the Father of Cricket
Grace developed the modern cricket batting technique, and his incredible skills helped cricket become a popular spectator sport. The note reads as follows.

"Dear Sir,

I think you had better get somebody else to write this as it is a bit awkward to write about myself.

Yours truly,

W.G. Grace"

This could be your last chance to own a piece of cricket history. The $1,000 price tag may seem high, but you'll be kicking yourself in 10 years when your W.C. Grace memorabilia collection only has photocopied versions of his letters.
