$2,500 Baseball Tickets - Stupid

Tonight, I am watching my beloved Texas Rangers play the hated NY Yankees on television. Because my Rangers are rarely on television in my area, it is a nice treat. Watching the game, I was struck by the seats behind home plate. In addition to being ridiculously close to the field, they look large enough to double as a Laz-y-boy. They should. Despite a massive subsidy from New York City taxpayers, they cost a whopping $2,500 per seat.

1. For a Wednesday night;
   
2. Against the Texas Rangers: not a big draw in this area.
   

IMHO – anyone dumb enough to pay $2,500 to see a regular season baseball game (of no particular importance) is a moron.
