armchairgm.com — ArmchairGM blogger "Manny Stiles" decided that he needed a baseball team to follow. And he wanted to help pediatric AIDS research. So he auctioned off his fandom on eBay -- money goes to AIDS research, and the winner chooses what team Stiles follows. The winning bidder? Matthew Silverman, president, Tampa Bay Devil Rays.
