Mike Eruzione is selling Olympic memories

In the interest of full disclosure, Mike Eruzione wants bidders to know that some items up for auction, like his gloves and shoulder pads, “don’t smell very good.” But they’re authentic, just like the rest of the memorabilia the 1980 Olympic hockey hero from Winthrop is selling.

Offerings include his jerseys, stick, the cowboy hat he wore at opening ceremonies — even his Olympic credential. Everything, that is, except his gold medal and ring. “Those will never be sold as long as I’m alive,” he vows.

I hope you make millions Mike, you deserve it.

I can't say giving kids $$ is the best thing for them, however I'm sure there are many other unknown factors at play. I'd love to have that jersey, tho!!
