Last Expos hotdog draws big price in online auction for charity
The Cirque du soleil has paid $2,605 for what is believed to be the last surviving hotdog from the Montreal Expos era, a radio station said Wednesday.
“I was hoping for $1,000 and people thought I was crazy,” said Mathieu Roy, a morning man at Energie 102.3 FM in Trois-Rivieres-Que. Roy said the Montreal-based circus’s winning bid was about 700 times the original purchase price of the steamed wiener on a plain white bun. The radio station held a contest last month giving away four tickets to the last Expos game in Montreal on Sept. 29. The winner was given the tickets on condition he return with the last Expos hotdog.
