I waited for the inevitable "Mets fan sells his fanhood on eBay" story after the second late season collapse in a row by the team. Instead, what we got was so much better. A memorabilia dealer wanted to get rid of a spare Aaron Heilman autographed baseball on eBay, but made no pretense as to its actual value ... he just wants it out of his sight. The listing reads as such:
I paid $40 plus $7.50 shipping for this garbage from Steiner Sports and sold them for $70 when no one knew he was a loser. Now Steiner is selling it for 50% off at $39.95 just to get rid of them also. (...)
For the 1st person to buy this signed baseball- I will give you the following:
FREE SHIPPING!!

STILL ANOTHER DIFFERENT UNSIGNED PHOTO OF JOHN MAINE
IF MY FAMILY LETS ME, I WILL GIVE YOU MY DOG, KIDS, AND GOLDFISH.
I WOULD GIVE YOU MY WIFE BUT THAT MEANS YOU ARE BUYING TWO THINGS THAT ARE WORTHLESS AND THEN YOU WILL REALLY HATE ME.
Aaron Heilman: Ending marriages since 2006. And yes, someone bought it. No word as to whether the winning bidder is getting a dog, some kids, and some goldfish in the deal (not to mention his wife), but he will also get to go to a Mets home game next season as part of the deal. With his luck, Heilman will blow that game too.
