Just saw this on TMZ...hopefully the auctions go well and a ton gets donated!
The family of late Cardinals outfielder Oscar Taveras has some cash headed its way ... all thanks to a longtime fan who's auctioning off his treasured souvenirs.
Taveras got his first taste of the majors this season, but he made a huge impression on a Cards fan. TMZ Sports has learned the guy -- who wants to remain anonymous -- bought a bunch of Taveras memorabilia ... just one day before the 22-year-old died in a car accident.
We're told the items include -- Oscar's first home run ball, cleats from his first big league game, and a game worn post-season jersey ... all autographed and going up for auction.
We're told the fan decided to unload the merch through Goldin Auctions -- so he can donate all the profits to Oscar's family in Puerto Rico. The auction will open on January 12th.
There's a reason Cardinals fans are known as the best in baseball.
