So true! I am a big fan of MLB. During the time that the family stayed in Colorado for a year, we tried to attend as many games as possible.

With a family of three (not counting the sober driver) we easily spent $100 on drinks and food at one game.

Could not afford three games a week.

Would love to have season tickets but way out of range on my budget.

The Giants won in a comeback. Buster Posey hit a homer to win the game.

Any friends I know with season tickets share with others...... 81 home games a season is just not doable by anyone other than a nerd

^ I am wishing and hoping to get to see the Giants, some time between the 20 of July and the 15th of August...... Counting on a corporate holder with 4 seats for each game.

Anyone see the Giants game yesterday..... Walk Off Grand Slam Homer by back up catcher Sanchez..... 6 home runs in all....

Some trenchant baseball commentary...

^ There was some talk that my Mariners would make a run at trying to sign Stanton. He would have been the perfect complement to Cano. Oh well. Congrats Stanton is the real deal and most likely a future Hall of Famer..
