What's in a name? In Longoria's case, $25,000
Rays rookie third baseman Evan Longoria has made quite a name for himself. And an online ticket broker is trying to take advantage of it.
In a listing on eBay, Dave Pierce of eSellout.com is offering to sell the Web site EvanLongoria.com for $25,000.
Longoria laughed when he heard about it Friday. “That’s weird,” he said. “And kind of funny. What are they going to come up with next? I guess it’s a good idea if you’re the guy selling it. He beat me to the punch.”
There had been four undisclosed (and declined) bids by Friday night. The sale ends at 1 a.m. Tuesday.
And what would Evan Longoria pay for EvanLongoria.com? “Nothing. I don’t want it.”
