More than five hours later, the auction closes with the march of the scrubeenies, the cheap players who fill out everyone's roster. There are still some good buys for those who have husbanded their money, either by design or dumb luck. The Moosers grab Milwaukee's Cecil Cooper for $3, the same price that Nova pays for Catcher Ron Hassey.

But it is Cleveland's proposed new Rock and Roll Hall of Fame that really gets the Jersey Devil's juices flowing. "If I have a dream commission, it is to design the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame," says Badanes, mocking the manner of a politician at a press conference. His colleagues give him a rousing round of applause. "I mean, could you imagine a better job? We could do the walls in black pressed vinyl. And there...
