The Ultimate Fan Shares How To Scalp Tickets

I’m not big on ticket scalping. If I’ve done it for five events in my life it would be a lot. Of all my ballgame experiences I believe I’ve paid scalpers to get in twice. (Although I did score a great seat to an Orioles-Yankees game at Camden Yards for nothing once. The seat was so good I could see the expressions on my Orioles’ faces as the Yankees whipped their butts. Sometimes patience and persistence can make a world of difference.)

The New Metra Station at Sox-35th

U.S. Cellular Field, the home of the Chicago White Sox, doesn’t present near the congestion challenges as does Wrigley Field, its venerable neighbor to the north. There are a few reasons for this; the White Sox offer more parking, they don’t draw as well as the Cubs, and there isn’t much else in the area drawing crowds, at least not at the moment.

If any of you Ballpark Chasers are planning trips to SF this year, let me know, I have 4 seats in the upper deck right behind the plate (section 314), and, if available, I resell for *most* games at my cost, either $15, $19, $22, or $32, whatever the Giants charge me. E-mail at eddiesofficials@gmail.com. If anyone else is a STH for a team, let us know...seats at cost help everyone fill their ballpark passports!

Summer Vacation Planned...

Summer trip for 2011 is planned out, we'll hit Comerica (new for my son), Rogers Centre for two, including a room overlooking the field at the Skydome Hotel (new park for wife and son), then on to Niagara Falls, and PNC Park and Progressive Field (new for all of us). Hoping to get a shot to get to Miami this year to get ProPlayer/LandShark/JoeRobbie/whateverthehellthey'recallingittoday park before it goes the way of the dodo.

PAYING TRIBUTE TO DR. MARTIN LUTHER KING JR

I'm sure many of you when on your baseball journeys probably take the time to do some activities not necessarily related to baseball.  And on this day when we celebrate Dr. King's birthday, if you should ever make a trip to Atlanta to catch a Braves game, you may want to make it a point, especially if traveling with your family, to stop by the Auburn neighborhood, which is where Dr. King was born and raised.  There you will see the house he grew up in, as well as the historic Ebeneezer…
