NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- The greatest collection of Brewers autographs ever amassed, a visit from former slugger Gorman Thomas and the racing sausages and a private lesson with hitting coach Darnell Coles are among the items up for bid in Major League Baseball's annual charity auction on MLB.com.
The initiative has raised nearly $500,000 since its inception four years ago and a significant portion of the proceeds from this year's event will go to Stand Up To Cancer, a longtime partner of Major League Baseball, its founding donor in 2008. In addition, this year's auction will benefit Do It For Durrett, in honor of the late Texas Rangers ESPN.
