Gatorade-stained shirt worn by Celtics coach Rivers auctioned for $55,000

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>BOSTON -- The Gatorade-stained shirt worn by Boston Celtics coach Doc Rivers as the team won its first NBA championship in 22 years has been auctioned for $55,000.

An anonymous bidder bought the shirt, autographed by Rivers and Celtics star Paul Pierce, and the accompanying Gatorade bucket at a charity auction on sports radio WEEI-AM's Web site. The proceeds will benefit the Boston Celtics Shamrock Foundation.

The foundation said Tuesday the high bid of $35,000 came from an anonymous bidder. Gatorade and a second anonymous donor each pledged $10,000 to bring the total to $55,000.

Celtics managing partner and foundation president Steve Pagliuca offered a personal donation of $35,000 to the charity if the winning bidder would share the shirt at certain times for display. No word yet on whether the bidder will accept the offer.</div>

 

Lol, must be a "sticky" situation.

I don't know if I'd ever buy something that dried in Gatorade. But, I guess the 17th NBA title in Celtic history is important.

 

Yeah, and I bet the guy who bought it is a millionaire.

 

Probably. He'll frame it right away if he was normal.

 

And then sell it in a few years 10 times the price. haha

 

Goes in to a Boston sports bar...."I want 30 million dollars."

Mark Walhberg..."Sold."

 

i would just wear it around and tell people that it was Doc Rivers shirt worn in the championship game...

 

He should have sold the whole set of clothes including the shoes. lol

 

I'm sorry, but even if it wasn't stained, I still wouldn't wear another man's shirt. Just, ew...lol.

 

Even if it was an autographed jersey from a game?
