The visiting Nats were in Philadelphia and Lloyd and I had arrived at the ballpark without tickets to a sold out game. But oftentimes it's actually easier to get tickets at sold out games. I immediately went to the streets, acting like a scalper, "Who's selling tickets? Who's got two extra tickets?" at the top of my lungs. The reason it can be easier in this type of circumstance is that there are often a lot of corporate tickets floating around. And if a businessman is there with extra tickets he's happy to get rid of them and make a couple of bucks in the process. I think it took about three minutes to cop a pair of $80 ea. tickets for around half their value. Our seats were eleven rows from the field, right behind home plate.
 

 
The following day we drove to New York City to see the Marlins take on the Mets at the new Citi Field - a great ballpark. The next night the Yankees were at home hosting the Angels. This was, I believe the first year for the new Yankee Stadium. I don't like this place even as much as I despised its predecessor. Sorry Babe!
 
 

And a day later we were in Washington to see the Cards. Tickets were hard to get in this half sold stadium. Stupid scalpers were asking for more than face value and the box office had huge line ups. No businessmen with corporate giveaways at this affair. The stadium is actually quite nice though
