What does two cents buy you?

We know that it costs $180.50 for some chicken fingers at Nationals Park, but for just 1/9,025th of that you can be the high-bidder for a Paul Lo Duca bobblehead.

According to the seller, it was "given out at dodger stadium on may 31st 2002 the outside of the box is a little beat up, but it has never been opened".

I guess hisnherstuff finally decided that it was time to unload this piece of memorabilia. Their dreams of Lo Duca making the Hall of Fame were dashed when the Worst Team In Baseball released him.

When this was given out, Lo Duca was a fan favorite in L.A. and had just come off his first full season as the starting catcher. It also happened to be his best season...

In 2001, Lo Duca hit .320 with 25 home runs and 90 RBIs. When he left the Nationals he was batting .230 with 0 homeruns and only 12 RBIs.

(FYI - hisnherstuff is also selling a Ron Cey bobblehead, although it's a bit pricier, already fetching $5.50 with 12 hours left in the auction.)
