CHICAGO (Reuters) - The infamous foul ball bobbled out of play by a Chicago Cubs fan that helped turned the tide against the long-suffering club in the National League playoffs is going up for auction, with a starting bid of $5,000.
MastroNet, Inc. (
http://www.mastronet.com), a sports and Americana auction house, said the ball would be part of a 2,000-item telephone and Internet auction beginning on Dec. 1 and ending Dec. 18.
With the Cubs leading 3-0 and five outs away from their first trip to the World Series (news - web sites) in 58 years, Luis Castillo of the Florida Marlins hit a pop-up in the eighth inning of game six of the National League Championship Series at Chicago's Wrigley Field last month.
