Just came back from a sunny, breezy, and 74 degree game in downtown Cleveland.

Is there any better way to spend your afternoon than doing that with your wife (well my bro and his wife came too!)

Munching on a glatt kosher hot dog and rainbow ice dippin dots (that were free of course with the purchase of $15 seats), drinking a soda (free as well by signing up to be a designated driver) and then moving on down to seats right behind home plate.

Seeing the Indians finish the 4 game sweep of the Jays and having a 6 run inning sure doesn't hurt!

Great way to spend a summer afternoon, no?

Lol.
Well I did go to the Indians-Yankees game at the house Ruth didn't build a month ago and got free parking on the street just 5 minutes or so from the stadium

But yes, it was a blast. I saw the 12:00pm start time, felt the amazing weather outside, so we pulled on our Tribe jerseys and drove off to the game!

I usually go to Flushing, where I also find parking on the streets for free, but coming from NJ <Outerbridge/Verrazano> = a lot of mint coins! And we are happy if we arent swept!

with my old broker I used to get some nice box seats (4 tkts) and free parking for 1 car when they played at shea. I told the other car to park in my old spot by The Tennis Center (free) and walk over, besides why pay to park and be a 3 min walk from the TC anyway

Dan, I believe that its the free stuff that made the change.

But yes, if it were a different sport, I'd love it too.

Nah, the free stuff was simply icing on the cake.

Baseball is an acquired taste though. It's a matter of being able to relax and just well, "just shmooze" because it just isn't a sport where there is constant action.
