The following is a public service announcement: The next time you steal a Red Sox's castoffs, particularly their sweaty cups, eBay would rather you sell them elsewhere.

The Track Girls are spreading the word that SportsWorld, in Saugus, tried to sell Jonathan Papelbon and Kevin Youkilis' used jocks on their eBay store.

Judging from how many times the Track Girls have written about SportsWorld and its Red Sox underwear sale, SportsWorld has been trying to unload a lot of dirty underwear. SportsWorld attempted to sell Mike Lowell's jock, but eBay wasn't having it. SportsWorld was more successful at selling underwear from Jason Varitek, Matt Clement, and Manny Ramirez. Therefore, undies are okay by eBay, but cups are not.

Speaking of undies, Jonathan Papelbon's are for sale--and framed!

But how is a person supposed to know for certain that it is in fact Papelbon underwear? DNA testing? Distinctive skid marks? Ugh. SportsWorld's Phil Castinetti told the Track Girls that the britches came from Fenway employees who hit the Dumpsters. So that would indicate that the jocks and underpants were so disgusting after use that the players didn't want to hang on to them.
