Funny Brewers Fan Is Selling Jeff Suppan on eBay
eBay has secretly been one of the biggest boons for bloggers since Al Gore invented the Internet several thousand years ago. Whether it’s fans selling their fanhood, or Manny Ramirez selling his grill or our co-workers selling themselves for Super Bowl tickets … well, you get the point: endless fun.
But here’s a new one for you: the folks at Homer Derby bring word that one lucky smartass Brewers fan tried to actually sell Jeff Suppan on eBay. And, naturally, the starting bid was a penny.
Jeff Suppan For Sale - Worthless Pitcher from Brewers
Buy Suppan, Get Billy Hall for Free
Now, obviously, it’s not exactly legal to “traffic in humans” on the Internet (or anywhere, really) so eBay did the boring thing and took the auction down. I mean, it would have been at least mildly amusing to let this run for a few hours, right? Just to see how much Suppan could end up going for? It would have probably been closer to his equivalent value than what the Brewers are actually paying him, right?
But what would be awesome — as a possible result of this — is that some player really does buck up and say “If I underperform in this year or x month or whatever, I will will allow the team to sell me on eBay.” And, yeah, I know it’s not going to happen with anyone we care about, but how about a player like, say, Lastings Milledge, who just happens to be the perfect combo of “worthless” and “crazy” to make this happen.
