Mike Schmidt is getting rid of some things if you’ve got some extra cash lying around.
Goldin Auctions’ October Legends Auction will feature some trophies, game used items, and career memorabilia of Mike Schmidt. Along with the Gold Glove award up top, starting on October 6th, you can bid on:
- Mike Schmidt’s Actual 1976 Babe Ruth “Sultan of Swat Award” Crown [Editor’s note: need this]
- Mike Schmidt’s Actual 1986 Mel Ott Memorial Award Presented to and Personally Owned by Schmidt
- Mike Schmidt’s 400th Home Run Game Used Bat
- Mike Schmidt Philadelphia Phillies All-Time RBI Record Breaking Ball from Personal Collection
In addition to the items above, you’ll be able to bid on an All-Star ring, an All-American ring, and more, for a chance to own pieces of Phillies history. Really, it’s all about that crown though. Sure, it’s the “Sultan of Swat Award,” but you can pretend you’re the crown prince of third base.
Also said to be up for auction is what remains of Michael Jack’s dignity.
