That's like six innings of work for A-Rod

Where was Sports Pros(e) contributor Mike Clark on this one? After displaying unabashed love for the Bambino in a recent column you'd think owning one of Ruth's sweat-stained hats would be a top priority.

The winning bid of $328,000 seems a bit steep to someone who makes about 1/9th of that per year. Mike Clark probably makes close to this though. The author can only imagine a wealthy publishing tycoon sent a proxy to bid on the item with a strict spending limit that got thrown out the window when the heiress to the Oh Henry! candy bar fortune made it a personal competition.
