I have season tickets because I love baseball, not necessarily because I can afford it. When 3 games of tickets pay for 1/3 of your season, it's hard to say no (not to mention, that was part of the deal so my wife would allow me to purchase season tickets in the first place).Danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12282378417359478876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-27174539095119828822007-06-20T17:49:00.000-04:002007-06-20T17:49:00.000-04:00@tbenderBaltimore a distant fourth?

Just look at the attendance figures for this season - nobody goes to Rockies games. Probably about 30,000 of the 50,000 seats where bought by brokers, Yankee fans, and people who haven't gone to another game this season. No matter what, the people at Coors Field for this Yankees series would be Yankee fans and/or Denverite schmucks.Danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12282378417359478876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-74955589384817718322007-06-20T11:43:00.000-04:002007-06-20T11:43:00.000-04:00I went to Indiana's rival, Purdue, and I am diehar...I went to Indiana's rival, Purdue, and I am diehard football fan of the Boilermakers.
