It was up, but now it's down"¦ so you'll have to take my word for it, but an actual eBay listing yesterday read as follows: "My name is Christina. I am a life long Detroit Tiger Fan and I would LOVE to attend a World Series Game."
Yes, she was auctioning herself off as a "companion" with a starting bid of $.99. Before eBay pulled it, she had four bids, the highest topping out at $10.50.
And like that, a new kind of World Series history has already been made, even before the first pitch. Hit the "more" link below for her entire ad, which I copied directly from the site"¦ What do you think, folks, should she have been allowed to auction herself off or not?
She did say in her item description: "I am a powerseller on here and this is not a ad for anything other than companionship."
I have a Tiger Towel and I'm ready to cheer on the Good Ole Boys. I live in Trenton Michigan and I hope to find someone or a group to go with. Anyone with access to tickets that would like me as a companion please write me now. I'm pretty funny and can keep up with the crowd. Let's Go Tigers!!!!
