Caution, You're About To Enter The Baseball Spin Zone
As a big time baseball geek who has bought tickets over to the Internet to a whole slew of teams, I get virtually inundated with emails from each team's ticket office whenever a homestand gets underway.
It's the last week of the season now, and we pretty much know who's gonna dance in October and who's gonna be making tee times for next week. So how are the out-of-contention teams trying to suck people in?
The Twins wanted to remind me there's plenty of great seats still available for this weekend's homestand against Kansas City and Detroit. Yeah they're great seats in the HumpDome alright, if you like sitting in a section 30 seats wide facing AWAY from the playing field. In addition, 9/26 is Hispanic Heritage night, which ought to draw the 6 or 7 Hispanics who live in the Twin Cities out to Kirby Puckett Place for sure.
The Pirates are sure to mention that they're the National League's youngest team. Be sure and get out to PNC Park this weekend to see the Buccos stars of the future--before they get traded to the Cubs, that is.
The Daaaaadgers are offering a concert by Grupo Climax on Wednesday, which sounds raunchily appealing. Thursday everyone gets Jeff Kent bobbleheads, which they can stick next to their Barry Bonds or Milton Bradley bobbleheads and have a bobblehead fight.
Best promotion of all? The Brewers gave away tickets for their last home game on Sunday. Not unusual...except for the fact that they gave away every ticket.
