Forty baseballs painted and designed by Little League baseball players and autographed by athletes as well as celebrities such as Alyssa Milano, Zac Efron and Drew Barrymore raised a few thousand dollars for Little League Baseball and Softball this week as part of the Baseball Design Across America Tour.
The online auctions, sponsored by Subway, included a national tour that started in Los Angeles and made several stops throughout the country before arriving at the Little League World Series in Williamsport, Pa., and on the auction block.
The balls were displayed at the LLWS and the final auctions ended on Monday. The most expensive ball was autographed by St. Louis Cardinals slugger Albert Pujols, which went for $626 after 34 bids, while four-time NASCAR champion Jeff Gordon‘s baseball came in second at $405 after 42 bids. Among the celebrities, a baseball signed by High School Musical‘s Efron led the way at $400.50 after 31 bids while former N’SYNC member JC Chasez ($355) and former Boston Red Sox star Fred Lynn ($355) rounded out the top five.
See more results — and all of the baseballs — after the jump.
