Here’s How One Team Gets a Rise Out of Fans
So, Angels, one of your needs is a shortstop and the best shortstop in the game is a free agent. Do you at least humor us fans, and try to make it look like you are interested, get our hopes up, try to make it seem like you care about winning while trying to restore at least a fraction of credibility that has been lost during your sorry ownership?
Nah, what you do is raise ticket prices.
You also need a designated hitter and No. 2 hitter. Tony Gwynn fills both needs, and even comes cheaply, perfect for you frugal idiots. Do you talk to him?
Not on your life, you raise ticket prices instead.
I think I’ll throw my attendance to the Dodgers. At least they spend money, try to win, at least make it look like they are interested in A-Rod, and keep the cheap seats the same price for us true non-corporate fans. They may not do it well, but they try.
Hey, Disney, keep raising ticket prices, because history shows us when it comes to owning sports teams, that’s the only thing you do well.
