for a limited time only, if the buyer pays the shipping for Grady Little, not only will you receive Grady Little, but you will also get Dusty Baker. That's two great managers both fully capable of bringing your team to within 5 outs of the world series and dashing your hearts. Act now!

That's great!!!

I wish I could, but our computers are restricted from bidding on ebay. :(

Mine isn't. Sure. I'll bid.

On edit -- I'm the current high bidder at $20.18. :D

If I win, I'll ship him DIRECTLY to you PP so you can do your worst.

Yankee 11 this is your final warning. Believe it or not, I'm the biggest reason you're still here.

You have now lost my support.

Man, it's only at $25, Weaver went for like $50,000 a few months ago.

Yankee 11..believe me PP means it...just go to the Yankee forum and leave these guys alone, Please.

Damn lucky I didn't see Weaver's..I was told about it too late...I would have bid negative numbers!!!

I forwarded the link to the local ESPN affiliate. I wonder if they'll mention it during the local show at 4pm.

I wonder how long it will take for Ebay to find it and kill it..it took a couple of days before they saw Nightmare's!!

10-17-2003, 05:02 PM
Never mind.

Is this whole thing a joke? After all, how can you own Grady Little?

It's awfully nice of the seller to include Dusty. Cubs fans don't seem to be quite as ready to dump their manager.

I sent it to a guy here at work, and he's passed it along to friends of his. And I'm waiting with bated breath to hear what the local ESPN affiliate has to say. I sent it to them too. :D

$19,000,100.

The local ESPN guys (one of whom is a Yankee-hater) is saying that the Yankees should vote Grady a WS share if they win.

They say you can't bid over $15K if you don't have a valid credit card.

I have one. Perhaps I'll try it. ;)

That sucks.

Everyone said reason for cancelling was "fun" or "fun is over."
Cyberlibrarian

I didn't hear anything about the cancellation. I e-mailed the page to Wally & the Keeg on ESPN radio here in NYC, and heard them talking about it, but didn't get a chance to hear what happened when they cancelled the auction.

I thought it was hilarious myself. :lmao:
