McCoy memorabilia: Online auction selling seats, signs and more started this morning

PAWTUCKET − An online auction of items from McCoy Stadium began Monday morning.

Pieces for auction include ballpark:

• Seats
• Signs
• Murals of players such as Jason Varitek, Ellis Burks and Tim Wakefield. The murals are described at the auction site as not original.

Proceeds will benefit the creation of Ben Mondor Park and the following charities: the Boys and Girls Club, Pawtucket YMCA, Little Sisters of the Poor and the Pawtucket Soup Kitchen.

The auction link is accessible at the city's website . Those interested in seats, sold in rows, should email the city at Pawtuckcityevents@gmail.com . The auction is being hosted on the BetterWorld online platform. The auction continues through July 26.

The city noted that many items have been damaged or marred by graffiti, and the Worcester Red Sox took most of the furnishings when they relocated. The stadium has been vacant since 2019, when the PawSox moved to Worcester.

Mayor Donald R. Grebien said, "We are thrilled to see the community's overwhelming interest in the McCoy Stadium auction. This initiative allows us to deliver cherished memorabilia to our loyal fans while supporting organizations that have been pillars of our community. It’s a win-win for everyone involved."

The city expects stadium seats to be among the most popular items. Seats won't be available as individual pieces but must be bought in rows of 15 to 20 seats.
