Out-of-my-price-range Charity Auction of the day: the one-of-a-kind autographed copy of the Official MLB Opus signed by the 2010 AL and NL All-Star Teams, at MLB Auctions. The book itself is a 20-inch square, 75-pound, 790-page behemoth which “tells the epic story of baseball’s heritage on a scale unmatched in the history of illustrated publishing.”
Only 1,000 of the book were printed, which is a shame, since its $3,000 price therefore limits it to the coffee tables of owners, players and other billionaires and millionaires. Apparently a scaled-down version is available for $295. Presumably that edition is bound.
Good news on the auction of the super-duper-deluxe version is that proceeds will benefit RBI (Reviving Baseball in Inner Cities) and the Players Trust. Bad news is that, as of 10:15 p.m. ET on Tuesday, 10/12, the reserve has not yet been met, with $7,000 as the current bid.

Yesterday, while I was at work, my cousin stole my iphone and tested to see if it can survive a thirty foot drop, just so she can be a youtube sensation. My iPad is now destroyed and she has 83 views. I know this is entirely off topic but I had to share it with someone!
