LAS VEGAS -- If you never got to fulfill your dream of being a big league ballplayer, perhaps you can fulfill your other childhood dream:
Shooting hot dogs into the Citizens Bank Park stands with the Phillie Phanatic.
That is one of two Phillies auction prizes that will support the Jackie Robinson Foundation and the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum, two important institutions that educate future generations of young people through honoring significant moments and individuals of baseball's past.
• Bid on Phillies experiences
The auction is live on MLB.com/wintermeetingsauction from now through Thursday, when it will conclude at 10 p.m. ET. Items include special baseball experiences, including meetings with some of the game's biggest stars, along with unique items donated by MLB and the 30 clubs.
One item is indeed shooting hot dogs into the stands with the Phanatic during a 2019 game. Another item is a special on-field photo session -- family photos, engagement photos, etc. -- at Citizens Bank Park by a Phillies' team photographer during a non-game day. The winners will be provided up to six personalized or favorite Phillies jerseys.
