Major League Baseball seemed determined to profit off the Memorial Day brawl that centered around Washington Nationals superstar Bryce Harper and San Francisco Giants reliever Hunter Strickland. As the Washington Post reported, Strickland's game-worn jersey and cap from that fateful day were up for auction on MLB.com. However, just hours before the bidding was to close on Wednesday night, the league wisely decided to close the auction down rather than reap any profits from a moment they couldn't afford to promote or encourage. Strickland was hit with a six-game suspension for his actions, which stemmed from a series of interactions that occurred way back during the 2014 postseason.
