The Little League ballplayer who was suspended for a bat flip as he celebrated a home run is putting the famous bat up for auction.

Marco Rocco, the 12-year-old from Haddonfield, New Jersey, whose family went to court to get a bat-flip suspension lifted, is turning the case into a fundraising event for his Little League.

Ken Goldin, whose son played on Rocco's Little League team, stood beside Rocco as he announced the auction on Instagram on Tuesday. Goldin said all the proceeds from the auction will benefit Haddonfield Little League. The bat was signed by Rocco.
