Re: Jose abreu game used bat????
Yes with most teams im sure you could get away with a tax write off but not all. Some auctions mention a percentage going to charity, I would ask mlb or team directly. I know some teams auction instead of sell privately just for the reason of donating to charities.
I don't see the difference between attending an event that is donating 10% of the entire auction winnings to a specific charity and bidding on an mlb auction item with them doing the same thing.

I won a couple items through the Cubs online auction last year and I received a letter or an email, I can't remember, stating that a portion of my purchases were tax deductible and it had the amount that was deductible on it. It wasn't much, but then again I didn't spend a whole lot.

If I had to put money on it, I'd say Abreu will be a Hall of Famer. If you watch him over time I dare say you'll change your mind. He's a hitting machine. He hits for tremendous power and bats well over .300. And he knows how to drive in runs. I've never seen anybody so often swing at pitches that would be called balls and drive in runs. He's having a monster year despite spending time on the disabled list and having clowns like Dunn and Viciedo hitting behind him.

Re: Jose abreu game used bat????
Same guy won the bat and the jersey. Over 12K!!!! I almost guarantee you can get a jersey at the garage sale for $1500 and a bat for $500. I don't see them pricing them over Konerko or Sale. What a waste of money. Usually stars with the team sit at the $500 range. When they leave they go up. The last 3 years or so Konerko bats were $500.

Re: Jose abreu game used bat????
It won't be about compiling 14 good seasons with Abreu. It'll be about dominating for eight or so.
And no, I didn't say he should be considered a Hall of Famer right away. I said, if I had to bet, I'd bet on him being a Hall of Famer. Big difference.
Abreu is not a Cespedes or Puig or Harper. He's a much better hitter than any of them.
