The Twins are auctioning off a baseball signed by Kris Humphries and Kim Kardashian!

(h/t Grant Brisbee)

The current price is $300. In my mind, I'm assuming it is the people from Storage Wars bidding each other up on this, and that Barry will get stuck overpaying for it.

I was happy to see that there were only 3 people who bid on the ball.....

Then I was sad when I realized there were actually 3 people who bid on the ball…..

meh, he's been good

but there’s not much you can do with the A’s right now. Of course, I hate the A’s, so I’ll root for doom and failure til the end of that contract. Is he the longest tenured GM right now?

I'll fear him when he gets a ML payroll and not that AAA outfit he has to run out there year after year.

He's had a chance to leave Oakland before and turned it down.

I think he is afraid he will be exposed if he goes to a team that has money. See John Hart.

I wouldn't take that for free

I don’t want to be able to say that I own a ball like that…

Nolan Ryans signature has to remain the most valuable one I have

Still… I wonder how much it would sell for ;)

Thinking how insanely valuable it would be but young me having no idea how much he had already fucked up his career with cocaine

In my mind, I’m assuming it is the people from Storage Wars bidding each other up on this, and that Barry will get stuck overpaying for it.

they don’t bid on items, they bet on storage containers.

the only way this makes sense is when they lift the door.. somewhere in a space made up of soiled mattresses and rotting furniture, there’s the damn ball.. perched on an armoire, right smack in a corner where everyone can see it. it’s even in one of those clear ball-holder trophy shells. you can see the two signatures split the seams, written side-by-side - just legible enough for everyone to throw up a little bit in the mouths as they inspect the locker.

Dave and Darrell check out during the bidding war, while Jarrod runs up the price on Barry

‘I know Barry wants that ball,’ says Jarrod during the interview. ‘Barry likes to collect signatures. Well, today, Barry’s getting my John Hancock.’

They cut to the auction dude, going apeshit at such a puny bid of 275. Finally Barry throws his arm up.

‘300! -ihear300! -doihear400? -350? -325? -gotabidof300! -300! -300! -goingtoBarry300-doihear325?-325?’

‘I want that baseball,’ says Barry

‘SOLD! to Barry for $300!’
