Ryan sent me a link to an eBay auction for the chance to play in a minor league baseball game. And seriously, if I were a rich man, I would pay well more than the $7,100 that the auction is currently fetching to suit up and play pro baseball for a day.

Though, once this one is successful, more teams will do it, and it won’t mean as much. And seriously, I would have to tell the manager that I didn’t really need the one at-bat. Start me in right field for a home game, let me play for one out, and then sit me down. Just an appearance. Let the team have a chance to win the ballgame. Heh.

Pretty sad that my fantasy day on a minor-league baseball team includes being benched for a real baseball player almost immediately. But would you really want to be the chump who paid to be on the team and hamstrung the manager for a full at-bat? Well, maybe if you were a little person.
