Legendary Bug Spray Sells for $673

You're an astute baseball fan. Of course you are. So surely you remember the infamous -- or famous, if you're an Indians fan -- Canadian Soldiers (see photo at right) that invaded Jacobs Field and took large bites out of Joba Chamberlain's ample neck area? The bug spray that the Yankees used to try to salvage poor Joba's flesh went up for sale a few weeks ago, and it's since been sold.

The final price? A cool seven hundo:

One fan posted a winning bid of $673 at the MLB.com Auction for the can that was sprayed in the Yankees' dugout when tiny midges swarmed Cleveland's Jacobs Field during the American League playoffs.

The winner's identity is kept secret here at Major League Baseball Advanced Media, but it was not believed to be Joba Chamberlain.

You wouldn't think a can of bug spray would be worth almost $700 bucks. Apparently, if Joba Chamberlain, Alex Rodriguez, and a variety of other Yankees have used that bug spray in a crucial losing effort in the 2007 playoffs, well ... maybe the bug spray is worth it. Still, um, probably not.
