Teams Pre-selling game-used

Re: Teams Pre-selling game-used

I know the Brewers did that with their St. Pattys day spring training jerseys. I think they dabble in it with regular season. I know they bring up balls, bats, etc up to their game used kiosk around the 6th inning. I think you can preorder some bases but not sure you can preorder a specific players stuff. Kind of crazy that people are willing to pay for something they've never seen before actually receiving. Doesn't quite float my boat. But I suppose it does for some.

I've just noticed MLB clubs (eg Braves and Red Sox) are allowing people to order game-used items, like balls and bases, before the game's played. The Red Sox site says that owners, players, managers, coaches, and the Hall of Fame can override a pre-order (such as, I suppose, if a no-hitter occurs) in which the buyer gets a refund.
