I want this and you should buy it for me

Here’s something being auctioned off for charity, and it will be gone soon:

This package includes:

  • A 30 minute pitching lesson from Mets star R.A. Dickey prior to a game at Citi Field.
  • Watch batting practice from the field
  • Receive 4 great tickets to the game

The bidding is up to $7,000, and it ends in a week. If you buy this for me, you will receive an autographed copy of my forthcoming book, How an Out-Of-Shape Writer Became a Star Major-Leaguer Thanks to R.A. Dickey’s Half-Hour Lesson, which I’ll publish after all that stuff in the title happens. Which it obviously would. Also, I’ll pay you back with the profits of the book, so it’s more like a loan.

It can’t lose. Please loan me $8,000 so I can learn a knuckleball from R.A. Dickey. We can get a Kickstarter going if that would be preferable.
