Back in 1993,\u00a0Jazz ball boy Alex Rodriguez\u00a0gave Michael Jordan two tickets to Utah’s sold-out game against the Chicago Bulls. Rodriguez didn’t want to take money from Jordan, so the now Hall of Famer gave the ball boy his Air Jordan 7 “Cardinal”<\/strong> in exchange for the tickets. And now 24 years later, Rodriguez has decided to put Jordan’s game-worn and signed shoes up for auction.<\/p>\n

These game-worn Air Jordan 7 “Cardinal” don’t come from an especially memorable game but Jordan did score 20 points in the fourth quarter and finished with 37 in Chicago’s 96-92 win.<\/p>\n

The Salt Laker Tribune’s Brennan Smith<\/a> caught up with Rodriguez to find out why he is selling the shoes:<\/p>\n

Rodriguez, now a 44-year-old account manager for a dental technology company, believes it\u2019s the right time to sell the shoes.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf it can help you better your life and help your kids\u2019 lives be better, I decided it\u2019s time to do something with them,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n

The shoes are being auctioned off by SCP Auctions<\/a> and you can bid on them until the auction ends on Saturday.<\/p>\n Image via SCP Auctions\n Image via SCP Auctions\n Image via SCP Auctions\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
