Bat made famous in New Jersey Little Leaguer’s celebratory flip is put up for auction as benefit
August 19, 2025
Marco Rocco, a 12-year-old Little League player from New Jersey, is auctioning the bat he used during a controversial bat flip. His family went to court to lift his suspension after last month’s incident. Ken Goldin, whose son played on Rocco’s team, announced on Instagram that the auction proceeds will benefit Haddonfield Little League. The bat, signed by Rocco, became famous after he was ejected for the flip during a tournament final. Last month, Rocco’s father won a court order allowing him to play in the state tournament despite the suspension.
