Angels put 3 items up for bids in WM auction
LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. -- For the sixth consecutive year, the Angels will take part in the Winter Meetings charity auction, an annual fundraiser that will support the Katharine Feeney Memorial Scholarship Fund this year, which is in memory of the late pioneering baseball executive whose career spanned 40 years.
Major League Baseball, MLB Advanced Media, MLB Network and all 30 teams will offer special baseball experiences and unique items to benefit the cause. The Angels are offering supporters the chance to bid on three items: a meet and greet with superstar center fielder Michael Trout and manager Mike Scioscia; a Spring Training experience; and the opportunity to throw a ceremonial first pitch at Angel Stadium.

The Katharine Feeney Memorial Scholarship Fund will support an annual scholarship that will be awarded to a female student at the University of San Francisco who most exemplifies Feeney's character. Eligible candidates for the scholarship will be students who are pursuing a career in sports management and demonstrate a need for financial aid.
The auction will run at MLB.com/wintermeetingsauction until 7 p.m. PT on Thursday.
