Per ESPN Chicago: Former Chicago Cubs pitcher Mike Remlinger has put the broken barrel of the corked bat used by Sammy Sosa during Sosa's infamous game against the Tampa Bay Rays in 2003 up for auction.
The bat, which shattered in two pieces when Sosa grounded out to second base in the first inning of the game on June 3, 2003, went on an online auction block through Schulte Auctions on Oct. 1, and the current bid is $5,050. Remlinger figures the bids should reach as high as $15,000 by the end of the auction on Oct. 31.
"There's enough crazy Cubs fans out there that if somebody has a collection, be it Harry Caray's Restaurant or one of the bigger bars in the area or just someone who has a personal collection, it's definitely a great item to talk about," Remlinger said Tuesday on "The Waddle & Silvy Show" on ESPN 1000.
Feel free to discuss great shameful items in Minnesota sports history you would like to see up for bid -- but know one thing has already been sold.
