Opening Day

Just 14 more days until opening day and it looks like I'll be watching on TV.

Tickets for the Red Sox opener at Yankee Stadium are going for a reasonable $130 per for upper deck to a pricey $3,000 per for seats in front of the field boxes. I have no business in New York at this time so I'll be spared the temptation of shelling out a couple of C-notes for tickets.

For the Red Sox home opener on April 11th standing room only tickets are going for $655 each and half way decent tickets are going for $945 each. That's too steep for my income bracket. My local American Legion is raffling off two tickets for $10 a chance with only 1,000 chances being sold. I think I'll drop $20 on that and hope for the best.
