MLB.com Cleans Out Some Junk

As part of its neverending quest to try to figure out a way to make money off the Web, MLB.com has launched its Opening Day Auction site. The site features all kinds of crap that only collectible weirdoes would pay good money for, including a game-used base from a Texas-Anaheim game ($375), a Tim Wakefield locker room name plate ($250) and, most impressively, a rubber from that Anaheim-Texas game ($150, no bidders).

It's actually a pitching rubber, but we had you for a second.
