The late Barry Halper was acknowledged to be perhaps the king of collectors. His holdings were sold at Sotheby’s, raising millions of dollars.
One of his pet charities was the burn unit at St. Barnabas in New Jersey. In that spirit, there will be an auction for a “package” of Yankees goods and services for young athletes (Halper was a “silent partner” of the team). The :Barry Halper’s Hitters Go to Bat” event includes:
- Opportunity to hone pitching, fielding, and hitting skills under the supervision of distinguished New York Yankees Coaches
- Commemorative photograph of clinic taken by the Yankees team photographer
- Private breakfast in the Yankee Stadium Sidewalk Café for the clinic participant and three guests
- Opportunity to stand on the field during the National Anthem
- Four seats in a luxury suite to watch the Yankees vs. Tampa Bay Rays game
- Personalized welcome message on Yankee Stadium Centerfield message board
- Commemorative video of the opening ceremony and National Anthem
- New York Yankees gift bag
- Customized Yankees Jersey
- Personalized autographed baseball by Yogi Berra
As you can imagine, such a deal does not come cheap. Bidding, which opens on July 20 at MLB.com/auction, begins at $500. For more information, click here.
