Doc Rivers’ sweaty, stained shirt fetches $55,000

This just in: Celtics coach Doc Rivers donated his final game dress shirt to a charity auction and some poor sap bid $55,000 on it. The custom-made white ECC Life & Style cotton shirt with mother of pearl buttons was badly stained with pink Gatorade (maybe fruit punch flavor?) and also signed by Rivers and Celtics star Paul Pierce.

(Oh, and the Gatorade bucket came with it. That’s probably how this guy explained his impulse purchase to his wife.)

The proceeds benefit the Boston Celtics Shamrock Foundation.
