You are absolutely right, of course. The cost was worth it the second that they won the Super Bowl in '99. I didn't pay for it though. I was too poor to afford the $500 and up for a PSL (personal seat license) so that I could have the priviledge of purchasing tickets to the game. I'm sure I paid my share in increased taxes.

Some of the best (read most fun) games I have ever watched were the kids games that I just dropped in on. There was a Khorey (how do you spell that?) League field in the middle of a town that I used to live close by (Valley Park). The street went right by the park and I used to stop and watch the baseball games if I had the time. You can't beat the genuine excitement on a kid's face when he connects with the ball. I would prefer watching those games to Cardinal games downtown. I think I understand what you mean Bruce!
