Bring it on folks - Freddy Adu jersey from NY game. Game worn jerseys may be special - but his first goal is huge.

That should be fun to see how high the bidding goes for that. Too bad his jersey would be like spandex on me.

Well - it is for a good cause. While I love adding to my jersey collection it is more important for U for DC to raise money. Besides - I figure they will owe me one for pimping the jersey out. It went from $250 to $325 in the four hours since I start spreadig the word.
Hopefully they will get around to changing the listing title to include Freddy Adu as that will draw out the more casual E-Bay user.

I'd say $2,000
How would you DC guys feel if a Metro fan would end up winning it?

Well, Mr. Walker can always buy it to remind himself that Johnny Walker is a fourteen year old's bitch, Johnny Walker is a fourteen year old's bitch, Johnny Walker is a fourteen year old's bitch...and he will always be!
I don't care who gets it but if some Metrotard is willing to pony up a few thousand for a DC charity to remind themselves of the player they will never have... Screw them! Cause we'll mug you before you can pick it up... :rolleyes:

If I succeed in not purchasing the jersey, I'm going to use the $1k I put aside to buy beer... :D
