With the Athletics in their second season in West Sacramento and sitting atop the American League West, local fans can bid on game-used and autographed memorabilia through the team’s official auction website.
Bidding on the current 19-item collection — including game-used balls, bats and jerseys — began last week and will close Sunday.
Here are some notable items available for bid. Bid totals and prices were current as of 5 p.m. Monday.
Which item has the most views?
A jersey worn by infielder Zack Gelof during a July 6, 2025, game against the San Francisco Giants had drawn the most attention, with more than 120 views, according to the auction website. The highest bid stood at $400.
Gelof, who was recalled from Triple-A on April 10, has become a key contributor at the plate. He entered Monday with a .767 OPS, including an .859 OPS over his last 15 games.
After posting an .840 OPS as a rookie in 2023, Gelof struggled over the next two seasons. He led the American League in strikeouts in 2024, making his recent resurgence significant.
During the game the jersey was worn in, Gelof went 0-for-3 with a walk and two strikeouts.
Which item has the most bids?
A baseball hit by All-Star shortstop Jacob Wilson for a game-winning two-run home run in the seventh inning of an April 15 game against the Texas Rangers had received eight bids, the most of any item in the auction.
Wilson’s estimated 370-foot home run gave the Athletics a 6-2 lead at Sutter Health Park. The A’s held on for a 6-5 victory. Known more for contact than power, Wilson has hit three home runs this season and was batting .292 entering Monday.
The current bid on the ball is $300.
Majority of items have no bids
Eight items in the current auction had drawn multiple bids, including all three game-used bats and the only jersey. But 11 game-used baseballs had not received any bids as of publication.
Those baseballs carried a minimum bid of $50. Most were tied to routine plays, such as singles and foul balls.
The current auction ends Sunday. Other memorabilia are also listed on the website for direct purchase or through special events.
