A Bernard Madoff New York Mets baseball jacket is displayed during a press preview of an auction of personal property seized from Bernard and Ruth Madoff. From diamond-encrusted watches to satin jackets emblazoned with his name, the personal goods of Wall Street swindler Madoff were to go under the hammer in New York to raise money to help pay those who lost their fortunes.
