- I have in past year collected ticket prices for each team from the McPaper.
- Maybe I can beat them to the punch this year (besides, they aren't really
- trustworthy, are they?): Please mail (don't post -- I'll collect and
- distribute in a single file) the ticket prices for major or minor league
- teams in your area. Please give prices by classification. If you happen to
- know how many seats are available at each price, I would greatly appreciate
- this too. (Often it shows up in the media guide.)
-
- Other teams have cut prices in the past after lousy seasons. (Cleveland is
- one.) What surprises me is that they do this after signing Bonds et al.
- Kinda puts a hole in that "salaries are driving ticket prices up" story, eh?

- Not at all. See Veeck, Bill. (We miss you!)
