Clemens' World Series Trophy and More to be Auctioned
Posted by Tuff Stuff

This is going to be an interesting test. In a time when people are trying to distance themselves as far away from Roger Clemens as possible, Grey Flannel auctions just fired off a press release that it will be selling some of Clemens' items that he gave to trainer Brian McNamee, including a 2000 World Series Trophy.

This item and more will be in Grey Flannel's auction that ends April 29.

The consignment Grey Flannel received consisted of approximately two dozen items, including apparel, equipment and memorabilia originally owned by both Clemens and Andy Pettitte. All of the high-profile collectibles were previously part of the McNamee's personal collection, and each is accompanied by a letter if authenticity signed by McNamee.

 ClemensWS_a.jpgThe 2000 World Series trophy is from the 2000 "Subway Series." the sale will also include All-Star game jerseys, autographed baseball and game-used fielding gloves.

“Each of the lots in the upcoming sale is likely to be viewed by future generations of fans as symbolic of a turning point in Major League Baseball’s evolution,” said Grey Flannel Auctions’ President Richard E. Russek.

So what do you think folks? Is Clemens damned so much that this stuff will sell really cheap? Or do you feel he's still one of the game's best and it's a good shot to own some personal items of his?

It will be interesting to watch the bidding unfold. I'm a little curious if Grey Flannel got this through McNamee directly or though another party. I guess if it was my auction house, I'd like the publicity but I not sure it's worth listing.
