I think a donut at Tim Horton's would solve this angst.

Jack Brickhouse and Vince Lloyd used to always mention this establishment....back in the day...

In no way am I trying to be political here, so please do not go there. But...it's funny.

Scam or Souvenir?

 

While watching some of Thursday's White Sox/Angels game, Steve Stone read a promotional announcement that I found to be pretty remarkable. Give the White Sox credit. They've found a way to make money off of tickets that were never purchased for a specific game.

Apparently, you can buy the unsold tickets to Mark Bueherle's perfect game. Stone didn't mention the prices. Are they selling them at face value? A premium?

Yes --  you too, can claim to be at a game you didn't attend. What would stop the team from just printing and printing and printing tickets if there was a demand for this souvenir? Who'd know?  Is each ticket authenticated?

Well, if you can't fill the seats, get creative. And, I must admit....this is.

This reminds me of the Cubs teams I grew up with. This season may be a wash, but THIS situation is worse.

Why am I not surprised? I never thought this would translate to a feature film.
