Willie Stargell's Family Upset Widow Auctioning Hall of Famer's Memorabilia

Several members of Willie Stargell's family are upset that his widow has decided to auction off pieces of valuable memorabilia.

According to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette's Jill Beckman, Stargell's ex-wife, Dolores Stargell, is particularly angered that Margaret Weller-Stargell has decided to auction off items belonging to the Hall of Famer because her family is living in poverty.

Stargell's family members have since expressed their frustrations with the auction in a post on Facebook.

"As Willie Stargell's children, we were completely blindsided to learn of the upcoming May 24th auction of some of our Dad's most endeared treasures – rings, trophies and plaques.
