He'll give you the signed, sweat-stained shirt off his back, put on a clean shirt to have dinner with you and three of your friends, and even provide the ride -- a loaded 2003 Ford Expedition.

The catch: You buy the car, which a Twin Cities sports collector working with Santana has listed on eBay.

Starting bid: $40,000, or a little more than a week's salary for the third-year lefty.

"If you follow sports, you know that Johan Santana got a $1.6 million contract this year," said Seth Dant, 28, who bills himself as "an eBay power-seller" and trades online under the name Irisheye5.

"He got a new vehicle, a Hummer H2," Dant said. "Eight or nine of the Twins are all driving new Hummers."



Yup, these people are real American heroes. :eyes:

They can afford to waste resources we all share, they can pay for their own stadium...

Current bid? See for yourself. Seems a bit much, I could care less who owned it.
