The Rafters are hosting their second jersey auction of the summer on July 4th! This time is featuring a patriotic jersey presented by the Elks Lodge! Starting today, you can submit an online bid (Minimum bid starting at $65; $130 secures the jersey outright) prior to the silent auction which will be held during the 3:05 game on Wednesday, July 4th. The auction will end at the conclusion of the 7th inning. Fans will be able to claim their jerseys following the game. The winners do not need to be in attendance, but it is recommended. Proceeds from the auction will benefit the Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts.

To place your bid, please e-mail emily@raftersbaseball.com with the following information:

  1. The player name or jersey number you wish to bid on.
  2. The dollar amount of your bid (Minimum bid is $65; $130 secures the jersey outright).
  3. Your name and phone number.
  4. If you would like the player to sign his jersey (if not indicated, the jersey will not be signed).

All info must be present to secure a bid. You may bid as many times as you would like on as many jerseys as you wish. PLEASE NOTE: If you are bidding online, you may only submit ONE bid. Online bidding will end at 12:00pm on July 4th.

Upon completion of the game, each player will sign his jersey (if indicated during the bidding process) and a member of the Rafters staff will bring those items to the Rafthouse Team Shop at the ballpark. At that time, payment will be needed to obtain said item. If the winner is not in attendance, a member of the Rafters staff will contact you for payment and shipping info ($5 will be added for shipped orders).   Patience is requested since as many as 35 transactions will need to be run immediately following the game. For faster processing, cash or check is the preferred method of payment.
