Sad and Pathetic

Tennis legend, Björn Borg, decided not to auction off his five Wimbledon trophies and the wood racquets that he wielded to win his improbable five consecutive titles on the fabled grass.

After great consideration and reasoning, I have decided that I will never sell my Wimbledon trophies and rackets and I have withdrawn them from sale.

Trophies of this kind have a meaning that goes beyond my comprehension of the victories, as they emphasize the bond between me as a player and all the people, family, friends and fans that have stood behind me through the years — people that have my love and respect.

Björn Borg, No deal: Borg decides against selling trophies

Duh! No matter how destitute and desperate I was, I would never sell something so precious. On the other hand, I would have loved to get my hands on one of those trophies and racquets.
