So Laura Posada sent a tweet out about a special someone enjoying the Price is Right. Obviously, this had to be the ultra-competitive Jorge. Really though, everyone, and I mean everyone loves the Price is Right. It's the perfect mix of sheer dumb luck (see Plinko) and a true understanding of the value of certain goods. Capitalism in a 60 minute bit that only retirees, cubicle ridden bloggers, and All Star Catchers really get the benefit of enjoying. Don't know what the Price is Right is you say? Well you're probably working to hard...
Anyways, Mrs. Posada's reply got me thinking. How about a Jorge Posada Price is Right Charity Auction to benefit the Jorge Posada Foundation? Get a bunch of Miami and NYC's finest together and create a classed up version of the Price is Right. The grand prize? A chance to go toe to toe with Jorge himself in the Showcase Showdown. We get the booze flowing, the laughs going, and someone gets to go home with a new jet ski or boat to add to their already massive collection. We auction off some autographed Yankees gear, invite Derek, Andy and the whole crew, and bingo, bango, bongo we got ourselves a grand ol time and a million bucks for a good cause. If this isn't the event of the season, I don't know what is. Sign me up!
PS - Thanks to Laura for responding to my tweet. Jorge is and always be an idol of mine. Hardwork and 100% fire to win. Hope all is well down South!
Oh and would you look at that?
