2008 Yankee Tix

Opening Day is here and the 2008 season is underway. This year also marks the final season in baseball's home office; the House that Ruth Built; the Big Ballpark in the Bronx; the inimitable Yankee Stadium.

We have the following tickets (click here). They're great box seats, located in Section 220, Row B, seats 1-4: http://www.2-tickets.com/venues/YankeeStadium_all.GIF

Face value on the seats is $85 (each...they go for $100 at the Stadium Ticket Window) and they come with 4 passes to the Pinstripe Pub and a parking pass to the lot adjacent to the Stadium. We can also break 'em up in pairs, if need be. We're going first-come, first-served so have a couple dates in mind when you get back to me.

I'll also be sure to keep the list updated during the course of the season, so feel free to come back often.

Unfortunately, the Yanks-Sawx and Yanks-Mets tix are already accounted for.

Let me know if you're interested in any of these, and we'll see what we can work out.

Let's Go Yanks!

Fearless MLB Predictions

Happy Opening Day!

Not going to the final Opening Day at Baseball's Home Office, but I'll be tracking progress during the day.

Below are my fearless predictions for the season, we'll see how they hold up. I'll repost in October.

Later today, I'll also post my predictions for award winners.

As you can see, I anticipate a Subway Series, what a way to send out both Shea and Yankee Stadiums than an old-time NY(A)-NY(N) tilt.
