Holmes' Super Bowl gloves grab $70K in charity auction

PITTSBURGH — The gloves worn by Pittsburgh Steelers receiver Santonio Holmes when he caught the game-winning touchdown pass in Super Bowl XLIII pulled in $70,200 for charity.

Holmes auctioned the Reebok gloves for the Sickle Cell Disease Association of America. Holmes's 6-year-old son, Santonio III, has the blood disease.

Bidding for the gloves nearly doubled in the final hour of the auction, which ended Sunday night. A total of 163 bids were placed.
