The Most Expensive Ketchup Stain You'll Own

Matt Murphy, the fan who caught Barry Bonds' 756th home run ball, is finally about to cash in on his 15 minutes of fame. He still hasn't officially decided whether he's going to sell the ball yet (riiight, just play along, ok? he's enjoying the suspense), but he has decided to put up some other very important and valuable pieces of memorabilia from that night: his dirty Mets jersey and his baseball cap. From eBay:

This is the real Jersey I wore at the Giants game while catching the famous Barry Bonds career 756 ball...I have not washed the jersey. There is a picture of me holding the Jose Reyes jersey that I wore to the game. There are several ketchup stains on the front as well as back illustrated in the pictures from being on the ground of At&t park figthing for the ball. This is the real Jersey, I will be putting the hat that I wore to the game up for bid also. There are a lot of fakes floating around......i promise you this is authentic. For me to autograph the jersey will be at the buyers request.

When did this happen? I thought people only wanted to buy game-used jerseys from athletes, not fans. I guess it might be a unique consolation prize for someone who can't afford the ball, but would a hard-core Bonds fan really want a Mets jersey hanging on the wall of their den?
