A Bug’s Life?
By Guest Blogger, Timm Davis
Once again the geniuses in the marketing department Of Major League Baseball have done it again. Now you can try and bid your hard earned cash on – you guessed it bug spray.
Yes, your eye’s aren’t playing tricks on you. You can bid on the bug spray that was used when the Yankees were taking on Cleveland during the American League Playoffs. So if you were trying to find that ‘hard to find’ gift for the Yankees fan who has everything look no further. They have some other things that they’ll be auctioning – but this seems to be the ‘hot ticket item’.
Yikes – I’ll have to pass on that one.
In other news, Jimmy Rollins is the National League MVP – just beating out Matt Holliday of the Colorado Rockies. Huh? Maybe I’m just not seeing it (which might be truer than you think..), but the guys who vote do. This was the closest vote since Terry Pendleton beat out Barry Bonds for the MVP award back in 1991. Honestly I was pretty darn sure that Matt Holliday would’ve walked away with the MVP with the kind of year he had.
Here’s what Rollins had to say:
“It never crossed my mind that I would go out there and win an MVP,” Rollins said on a conference call from California. “I had a real big smile on my face, to make it simple. I was excited but I wasn’t quite sure what to feel.”
This is also the first time teammates have won back to back MVP’s since Jeff Kent and Barry Bonds did it for the Giants in 2000 and 2001.
