From The Boston Globe - Baseball Notes by Gordon Edes

Let's start the bidding

If you've never been to the Baseball Hall of Fame, or have been pining to go back, have we got a deal for you. With the help of Newton's Jeff Idelson, the crack PR man at the Hall, the folks at Boston.com, and some special friends devoted to helping out the Jimmy Fund (take a bow, Paul and John), we're auctioning off some special packages to coincide with the Red Sox' visit to Cooperstown, N.Y., May 23, when they're scheduled to play the Tigers in the annual Hall exhibition game. Eight packages up for auction include not only admission to the Hall of Fame game, but breakfast with yours truly, a private tour of the Hall of Fame, and entrance to a special roundtable discussion with Hall of Famers. In addition, two very special packages have been assembled that include all of the above, as well as hotel accommodations in Cooperstown. For details, go to http://www.boston.com/edesauction. All proceeds go to the Jimmy Fund. I'll bring the doughnuts. The auction starts today.
