UM baseball to auction off Sox-Yanks trip

Four front-row box seats to any 2008 Yankees-Red Sox game at Yankee Stadium (including the playoffs) are among items up for auction Friday during the annual UMaine Baseball Golf Outing at Bangor Municipal Golf Course.

While most playing spots have been filled, Black Bears coach Steve Trimper said the public is welcome to attend the reception and auction that begins at 3 p.m.

Along with the Sox-Yankees tickets, live auction items include a Barry Bonds autographed baseball, a Mike Bordick autographed bat and an outing for four at Sugarloaf Golf Club.

Items for the silent auction include Red Sox-Yankees tickets (April 2008 game in New York), a four-day vacation at Disney’s Old Key West (Fla.) Resort and baseballs autographed by Mark Sweeney, Moises Alou, Omar Vizquel and Peter Gammons.
