A man will do a lot of things to prove the fervor of his fandom.
Paint his belly in team colors. Pay $10K for a gallon of McJordan BBQ sauce. Y’know, slide through a urinal.
But should you be interested in more refined tokens of your fervor, direct your attention, instead, to Grey Flannel’s Holiday Auction, taking bids now.
Up for grabs: signed and worn gear from greats like Jordan, Bird, Ruth, Banks, Ali and more.
The highlights:
- Babe Ruth’s game-worn Tour of Japan cap, a Hank Aaron-autographed bat and a vintage Ernie Banks Coaches jersey
- A ball signed by the 1932 Yankees
- A rare pair of Michael Jordan’s leather Converses from his unforgettable freshman year at UNC (pictured above)
Now, anything MJ-related usually means big-ticket bids, no matter how ridiculous the memorabilia.
Hence, $10K for that BBQ sauce.
Let’s all think about that for a sec.
Thanks for the memories, Michael. Thanks.
