a few years ago my son and I planned to go watch a game in Cincinnati (we lived in Columbus at the time) so I went online to get the tickets.. Turns out that just 2 tickets for some unknown game would have cost well over $100 so we opted to watch on TV instead..
When I was a kid dad always had season tickets from work, but that was long ago and far away back when neither of either me nor my brother were old enough to drive and mom didn't feel like driving us all the way from Dayton to Cincinnati.. The games we did go to were kind of torturous riding in the backseat with my dad driving and he always wanted to leave games early with one exception when we begged them to stay only to see JB hit a grand slam in the bottom of the 9th to win it.. To this day I ask my 90 year old dad, "AREN'T YOU GLAD WE STAYED?" He doesn't even remember it now.. That kind of takes the fun out of the whole "Aren't you glad we stayed?" thing..
