Infamous David Ortiz shirt sells for $175 K

It’s all about the Red Sox this days, first rookie Justin Masterson made his debut yesterday at Fenway Park, and the same day, the David Ortiz shirt that was burried in cement in the new Yankee Stadium by Gino Castignoli, a life long Boston fan, became news again.

The shirt was sold through an auction in Ebay, where the bidding for the piece of memorabilia became a must-see for members of the Dana-Farber institute, where the money is going.

The lucky bidder and winner of the shirt was an owner of a few car dealerships in Mendon, Mass. Kevin Meehan bidded at the last 9 seconds going ahead for only $100.00 from the previous offer and he said that he would probably think twice before spending another $175,110 dollars in similar stuff, but his dad died of cancer in 2001 and he has being a regular contributor to the charity since then.

So what it started as an act of bad faith from a Red Sox fan, turned into 175 grand that would benefit alot of people. All the goods to the Dana-Farber institute and to Kevin Meehan.
