Someone has gotten their hands on three pairs of game-worn underwear from the Red Sox locker room:

We knew it was just a matter of time before the Dumpster divers at Fenway Park resurfaced with their usual stash of locker-room detritus.

This year, jockobilia peddler Phil Castinetti of SportsWorld in Saugus reports he’s gotten his mitts on three pairs of Red Sox BVDs which he intends to throw up on eBay today.

“We did great with what we had last year,” Phil told the Track. “We got between $200-$300 for A-Rod’s underwear, although we had some problems with Josh Beckett, and we had to take his off eBay.”

It’s not what Castinetti’s doing that  upsets me.  It’s a tough world and we’ve all got to hustle a little bit to make an extra buck.  Some people slang weed, others slang underwear.  Whatever.  What bothers me is that some sick bastard is undoubtedly going to buy this underwear.  But what to do with it?  It’s not suitable for framing, it’s not much of a conversation piece, and I don’t think there’s much of a market for resale.  So whoever buys the underwear is obviously going to sniff it, right?  I can’t think of any reason to own Hideki Okajima’s game-worn underwear aside from being a depraved bastard who wants to smother his face with it and inhale a musk of sweat, feces, and soy sauce.
