One recent item would warm any Jewish baseball fan's heart: something worn by legendary Dodgers pitcher Sandy Koufax.

But this isn't a mere game-worn jersey or cap. It was the kipa worn by the Hall of Fame lefty.

Columbia, Md., residents Michelle W. and her husband, Jamie (they asked that their last name not be printed), put the item up for bid shortly after the High Holy Days. In the "product description," she explains how an uncle acquired the souvenir.

"In the early '70s he lived in Ellsworth, Maine. Koufax was apparently a part-time resident of the town, and in 1971 showed up at a wedding in nearby Bangor, where the closest synagogue was.

"My uncle quietly approached Mr. Koufax after the service and asked for his autograph. Koufax politely declined but my uncle got the next best thing: the yarmulke he was wearing!… When Koufax returned his [to the communal kipot box], my uncle snagged it. Not quite in keeping with the Old Testament, but my uncle believes God is a Dodgers fan and would completely understand.

"…So after years of being banished to my uncle's sock drawer, he asked us to sell it for him. With that said, we are please to offer (possibly) the only synagogue-worn Sandy Koufax yarmulke.

"I cannot guarantee wearing it will give you a devastating curveball or improve your fastball, but it should make you feel a little more pious."

Naturally, some bidders were skeptical. "My uncle will swear on a copy of the Bible (Old Testament only) that this was worn by Sandy," Michelle wrote in answer to a question posted on the Web site. To another query about the item's authenticity, she responded, tongue in cheek, "Trace microfibers are being tested like the Shroud of Turin. In addition, the yarmulke has ‘consistent puckering' that matches the shape of Koufax's head."

Michelle received more than 25 bids for the kipa. The winner, whom Jamie described in an e-mail to NJ Jewish News as an employee of a major trading card company living in Manalapan, paid $91 plus postage for what will no doubt be major bragging rights.

The Maryland couple said they will donate the money to their synagogue.
