Lotto Winner Selling $25 World Series Tickets?

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share

If you believe that there are $25 World Series Tickets at U.S. Cellular Field available, then you’ll believe anything.

Really, I missed the chance to go online today during the nerve wracking 18 minutes when tickets were available. My mind was on other things, like mind numbing pain or something like that. By the time I was functional (hours later) it was all over.

Sigh, it was not meant to be. I’ve not been a good enough Sox fan anyway. The Summer of '76 when they folded in August took a piece out of my heart that made it hard to be as fanatic as I used to be in my youth when my grandfathers on both sides explained the rules of my genetic and compasetic heritage.

Compasetic is my sniglet for my “South of Madison” Sox Fan Rule Orientation.

So, how many of you SDMB hardliners tried? Did any of you care?

I keep seeing these little ads for tickets and keep kicking on them. They are just ridiculous.

Half are just not credible. The rest are stratospheric.

Something had to give, hence this little post and its title.

What a great fantasy, eh?

Unfortunately, I don’t even meet my own criteria for deserving to get such largesse.

What does that say about me?

Oh for the old days.

Back in '59 you could still hop the fence I am told.

Any of you old enough to have done it? :cool:

I think that’s a lot of cra, er baloney. That’s ancient history back in the naive days of baseball when players hardly understood the long term consequenses of what they were offered and doing.

Had they known the stakes, they would have known better. Of course, they should have in the first place, but that isn’t the point.

The point is that bringing up 1919 is just sour grapes from newsies just looking for reasons to justify hopes that the White Sox will blow it again.

Part of White Sox history? Yes.

Any more relevant to this year’s struggle than the Chicago Fire of 1870? Not much.

What say you all?

Trying not to start a new thread with this.

You probably should have gone ahead and started a new thread if you aren’t interested in the original topic.

But it was related to the original and I suspected that the moderator would just collapse it anyway since both were basically about the White Sox and the World Series.
