He may have switched teams, but I’m pretty sure Mark Sanchez will never forget his “butt fumble.” Fans had a ball with it. Lol. Well the jersey he wore when it happened … has sold. Find out for how much & WHY this fan bought the jersey…
Via ESPN:
A diehard New York Jets fan paid $820 for the jersey Mark Sanchez wore during the “Butt Fumble” game in 2012, hoping to keep it from those who might subject him to further ridicule over the infamous play.
Jake Hendrickson, who lives in California, noticed the jersey was posted on the NFL auctions website last week and set his alarm on his calendar so he could try to ensure he was the highest bidder.
“The second I realized what it was I knew I had to have it. Almost for macabre reasons; the amount of ridicule I have received from friends regarding that play and me being a diehard Jets fan out in California especially,” Hendrickson toldYahoo! Sports. “There’s no way I could let it get in the hands of an anti-fan or something of that manner to be shoved in our face.”
