eBay Item of the Day: Marwin Gonzalez saves the world

Like you, I’m sure, I have always pulled for a pitcher going for a perfect game, but I think I’m going to change that policy. We’ve had enough of them in recent times that they are on the verge of losing their gravitas. So, from now on, I’m going to pull for anyone - including marginal types like Marwin Gonzalez (career .662 OPS in the minors) -- to break them up. Then, after a decade has gone by without another perfecto, I can go back to rooting for the pitchers again.

So, with that in mind, we present one of the very, very few Marwin Gonzalez items currently up for bid as a way of saying, “Thanks for preserving the sanctity of the institution of the perfect game.”
