I love the S F Giants, have since I stayed with my grandparents at age 11 for the summer, and every other day grandpa would say "There's a Giants game on, lets go listen", and we would sit in the parlor and listen to the radio like he had for probably 40 years...
I think about that as i watch the games on my HDTV, although I think the play by play was better years ago on the radio...
So i was really kind of shocked when I spotted this ad online

AT&T Park - San Francisco, CA
World Series Game 6
1798 ticket listings offered from $536 to $95419 each.
Are you kidding me? almost a 100k to watch the world series live? Even 500 is a lot, and those are bleacher seats...
Still, I love the Giants...
That's why I stopped watching baseball. I used to like going to games just for the atmosphere, whether I cared about the team or not. But ticket prices are ridiculous now, and the game just isn't as interesting as football.

ReplyDeleteThen we watched in utter disappointment as the Gmen got swept.
