Makes you wonder how easy it would be to actually shift that much gear. We're a paranoid group at times, so imagine if all of a sudden "507 signed and unsigned jerseys, 304 hats, 828 bats, 22 batting helmets and 10 equipment bags" turned up on the market...Thats crazy amounts.

I wonder if it will be turned over to the Mets or auctioned off by the state?

Mark.
