Bats Auction A Hit



The Louisville Bats concluded its auction of game-worn camouflage jerseys last night and raised over $4,600 for the Special Operations Warrior Foundation—which provides free college scholarship grants, along with financial aid and educational counseling, to the children of Army, Navy, Air Force and Marine Corps Special Operations personnel who were killed in an operational mission or training accident.

The biggest seller was Mark Bellhorn’s jersey, which went for a final bid of $810. Joey Votto’s jersey finished second, pulling in $360.
