When two Red Sox tickets with a limousine were being auctioned off against the Yankees, Caron added in a meet and greet with his Hall of Fame partner on NESN, and the ability for the winner to appear on television. Another pair of tickets were added during the bidding with the same criteria and both brought in $1,025.
Other auction items were Patriots game club seats, an autographed football by a New England patriot, a wooden horse, autographed Bruins jerseys, golf outings, wine, cases of Sam Adams and more.
