Ortiz jersey (slight damaged) = $175K!

Wow! What bad economy?

That David Ortiz jersey that was pulled from the recently set concrete of the House that Ruth Didn't Build fetched $175,000 in a charity auction for the Jimmy Fund. Great news for a worthy charity but 175 grand?

The auction was held on eBay. Gee, I wonder how much I can get for that dust bunny under the couch shaped like John Daly?
