Bid Now To Purchase Brad Ausmus' Sweatshirt And Hat From His Infamous Tirade

I am slightly addicted to buying sports memorabilia.

My biggest obsession currently is bidding on items on the MLB auction page. If there is a good deal then I am trying to win that bid. I have items from Miguel Cabrera, Max Scherzer and Justin Verlander -- all from the auction website.

Currently, the Tigers are auctioning off something special: the sweatshirt and hat from Monday's win over the Minnesota Twins.

Following his ejection, a clubhouse attendant collected the items from the field and returned them to the Manager's office. Ausmus donated the items direclty to the Detroit Tigers Foundation with the goal of raising money for youth baseball in Detroit. Proceeds from this auction will directly benefit the Tiny Tigers t-ball program funded by the Detroit Tigers Foundation at Detroit PAL. Neither item has been washed since the May 16 game and both items show dirt consistent with being placed or tossed on the field. Both items feature the #7, as seen in the photos.

The hat and the sweatshirt have not been washed and show use. This is an awesome auction and a great piece of memorabilia for any Tigers or baseball fan. The auction ends May 25 at 9 p.m.
