The San Francisco Giants want to turn their trash into gold, almost literally, and are now selling empty used beer bottles that were either drank, poured or spilled in the team’s NLCS celebration.

Professional sports teams sell weird stuff to make money, profiting off the fact that the very idea of fandom is illogical. Well, the San Francisco Giants might have taken “game-used memorabilia” to an entirely new level. The Giants are now selling authenticated, empty, used beer bottles from their NLCS clinching celebration in their team shop:

Now, there’s lots of obscure, weird stuff that I’d love to have with the logo of my favorite team on, but I really don’t get the appeal here. Even if you’re a massive Giants fan, and this run has been particularly meaningful to you, isn’t there some better way to spend $69 on a souvenir? Heck, you could probably get two NL Champion hats for that price and maybe have a dollar or two left over. Or, one hat and lots of full, non-empty beers. That works, too.

I suppose I’d buy one for sure if there were maybe a golden ticket hidden inside one of them, and the lucky winner would get to actually go drink with centerfielder Hunter Pence. That’d be worth my $69 bucks. But if this sounds like something you need to have in your life, well, grab them before they run out, I guess.
