does anyone know if these will be sold by their respective teams or on MLB Auctions? thanks.

I would guess MLB auctions will have unsigned baseballs and bases. As far as the uniforms, bats, hats and other player equipment, I doubt it will ever reach an auction. Last year I don't recall seeing any Phils or Rays player used items from the Series anywhere. The Yankees however may make some items available via their partnership with Steiner Sports and if they do expect insanely high prices. The items that Steiner will have though will most likely be just balls used in the various playoff rounds (including the WS but mostly ALCS and ALDS) autographed by various Yankees and the entire team, I remember they did that with the Red Sox in 2007. I think the personal items for the most part are retained by the players for themselves or to be given as gifts to those close to them and the series is so short that there are going to be very few items used by each player to begin with.
