Gone are the days when Yankees fans could sell players on Ebay after a bad start (Jeff Weaver comes to mind).
However, fans starving for attention and an infusion of cash they'll try not to claim on their taxes can sell their souls/fandom to the highest bidder.
The last plea for publicity comes from "sneakerinsider" who is selling his Yankees fan status to the Red Sox on Ebay.
His initial bid price is $49,999 but you can buy him now for $174,999. If the right bored billionaire gets wind of this (or maybe even Beans Whittle and Dennehy), this dude could make some serious bank for selling himself. Isn't prostitution, be it athletic or sexual, illegal in most states?
According to the Ebay auction, this fan's beef with the Yankees stems from a busload of kids from Connecticut being turned away from their pre-arranged tour of Yankee Stadium after they arrived 45 minutes late.
Whether you believe that story or not, here's a suggestion: Plan better for New York traffic next time. Or maybe drive in the right lane for a while, contrary to everyone else in Connecticut who live in the left lane.
