2008 Patriotic Jersey Auction

As I had mentioned in my Celebrating Independence Day post, the patriotic jerseys worn by the team during the July 3rd game against the Albuquerque Isotopes, which was also Military Appreciation Night, would be auctioned off to benefit the Intrepid Fallen Heroes Fund. The auction of last year's patriotic jerseys raised over $10,000 for the fund.






















I like this year's jersey a lot better than the ones they had last year. If you would like to see a list of all the jerseys up for auction, go here. Individual (game-worn) jerseys listed below:

All auctions end on July 15, some time between 11 and noon PDT, except for the #54 jersey, for which the auction ends July 10 at about 17:50 PDT (didn't need laundering??). So, if you've an interest and have the money, go ahead and put in a bid. Starting bid is $50, and I don't see that there is a reserve. The #54 team autographed jersey currently has a bid of $431.
