Fucking MLB.

As I was doing some baseball-related internet impulse buying, I came across a link to MLB Auctions. And, oooh, they had a lot of neat stuff!

I found an old Kauffman Stadium player banner and tried to see who the seller was. There was no user name that I could see. That is because it is MLB itself that is auctioning this stuff off. How about that?

It does say "Proceeds from the sale will benefit Royals Charities." Does that mean ALL of the money they make from the sale of this crap goes to charity? Aside from the ENORMOUS overhead that's involved with creating the ad-heavy auction site and pushing the random stuff they've accumulated over the years?

Gee whiz.
