Baseball Games don't have to be expensive
I go to see a local club league team, the North Shore Spirit, in Lynn, MA. Tickets are $4. That's right, four whole American dollars. Play is entertaining, spirited, fun to watch. There are cheesy little promotions. And hey, if the game gets rained out, or it's not the fastest or most fun game, you're not going to feel gypped. I tell you, I have always gotten at least $12 of entertainment out of every game, and at least one was worth $100. The problem with major league sports is that going (parking, tickets, food) costs so much you have to expect every time to be a peak experience. And it's too expensive to develop a relationship with a team. Look for minor league, farm team, and unaffiliated club leagues, buy a "fan package" for twelve games a season. I guarantee you'll have a blast. Then go to see the big leagues once a year, on a birthday or special occasion. Oh: www.minorleaguebaseball.com (and just for laughs, www.northshorespirit.com).
