MLB Auctions is offering the hat and jersey worn by San Francisco Giants pitcher Hunter Strickland during the Memorial Day brawl with Bryce Harper and the Washington Nationals.
Strickland fired a pitch at Harper during the afternoon game, igniting a scuffle between the two teams that generated a couple of days’ worth of headlines. Strickland was suspended for six games while Harper was sent to the bench for three following an appeal.
As of Sunday, Strickland’s #60 jersey carried a high bid of $1,400 while his cap was at $285. Bidding runs through June 7.
The big ticket item would be the helmet Harper threw at Strickland, but so far that hasn’t hit the block.
Proceeds from MLB Auctions go to charity.
