As is pretty much the case every year, I ended up with a glut of Soxfest tickets. Being the loyal and helpful Sox fan that I am, I posted on WSI seeing if any members of my virtual baseball community wanted them.
One kid replied. See exchange below. It's hysterical....

i might be intersested in the sunday tickets....i will need to work on the details...if i go i might only need 2 of them...
So I replied:
2 left, yours for the taking.
He comes back with:
could i get some details:
- how do i get them (at will call?)
-for sunday, right?
-any specific reason why you are giving them away
-anything else you know
-are they free?
i think ill probably take them
So I decide to answer his questions (my replies are in bold):
Great! I think. I'm helping this little feller out. But then he responds with this:
how can i get them at will call, as in...what name or whatever
i trust you, but i am only 17, and my mom is a little less trusting, would it maybe be possible to send them to me???
i dunno, i think she is crazy, but if you mailed them tommorow, they would get here sat., right?
i live in lisle, a western suburb, not to far...
i dont wanna mess you up if it would be easier to give them to someone else, so if you have other people, i guess i can buy them instead
im sure you can understand that mothers are sometimes a little overprotective maybe...
I'm pretty understanding about this, as I had the most overprotective mother in the world. So I reply:
PM me your address and I'll drop them in the mail first thing tomorrow.
I had an overprotective mother too, I know how you feel.
So my new friend comes back with this: (note the grammar btw, if mine were this bad when I was 17, I would have shot myself)
i am convince that this will work, yet the mother is still a little uncertain. i think she thinks you are some kind of mass murderer just because you use the internet. poor lady, she is a little misunderstanding...she said to talk to my father, who should be home around 920-930, so i will talk to him and immediately give you a reply once i am finsihed with him
thanks for your patience, and i hope this works out, i owe you big time if it does...
Yep, that interweb sure is a scary place, ain't it?
He wrote me a short time later to tell me he couldn't take them. Oh well, his loss...
