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.
Rocco's bat flip led to a legal fight last month. He was ejected after he flipped his bat in dramatic fashion as he celebrated a home run in the final of the Little League sectional tournament.
Rocco faced a suspension from his first state tournament game for the ejection and the bat flip until his father took Little League to court and won an emergency temporary restraining order that allowed Marco to play in the New Jersey state tournament.
