How much is your time worth? Some people say time is priceless. That is unless you're a former MLB ballplayers.

I am an avid bidder on MLB's auction website and while browsing Wednesday night (while watching Michigan take on Northwestern) I came across some interesting items available.

For the low-low price of $200, one can purchase a 5-minute phone call with former Tigers pitcher Frank Tanana.

You are purchasing a live 5 minute personal phone call experience with 3x All Star Frank Tanana. This is a perfect for somebody who has a party, event, or birthday coming up as this phone experience is a great gift for a special someone on a special day!

Other players available for a call are former Blue Jay Devon White ($500), Pirates manager Clint Hurdle ($400), 3x All-Star Bret Boone ($250), 1981 World Series MVP Ron Cey ($250), former Royal Willie Wilson ($300), 2001 NL Manager of the Year Larry Bowa ($300) and  6x All-Star Craig Nettles ($500).

If you could buy 5-minutes of someone's time, who would it be?
