Shoe by Gary Brookins and Susie MacNelly for September 14, 2013

I thought Shoe was tight ?. At most ballparks that would cost about at least $66 ! ( $16 for the dogs and $54 for the beers ! ) I guess if he’s spending on himself, it doesn’t matter.A Yankees vr Red Sox game would go on for a lot more beers.

The only thing affecting Cosmo would be his old age bladder trying to hold all of those beers. As much water as they have in the beer, he would be running to the bathroom before the fifth inning.

My beer-an-inning days are long gone.

Thank goodness I live in FlorryDUH! (Grapefruit League) with March Spring Training. Fairly cheap but good food (Astros may not be the best team, but their spring training facility has some of the best stadium food choices around!), free or low-cost parking, and I can see the Braves, Astros, Yankees, Blue Jays and several other teams in great seats for a fraction of the cost of a cruddy seat in their regular stadiums. Still have yet to catch a foul ball, but one can hope.

that’s why games last so long

Not before my time, just a Tigers fan. We didn’t have inter league play back then, so I wasn’t familiar with any of the National League players.The Tigers weren’t doing so hot then, so I didn’t even have the World Series to familiarize my self with the National League teams. Still mainly confine my interest to the American League.

What -no peanuts-popcorn-cottoncandy -pizza

A vendor will Only charge what the gullible consumer is willing to pay. If you find a place that gets $10 for a beer and $8 for a hotdog it only shows the stupidity of the crowd.

Although at the Olympic stadium in Montreal, we could get a Kojax burger or souvlaki if we wanted. Way better than hot dogs – especially with their hot sauce.

Ashburn also led the league in hit-by-pitch.

Some teams now serve sushi! Great! Dead fish in mid-summer!

Yeah, but pizza at a baseball game is just so wrong…unless it’s at an Italian sports bar.
