I say we vote vagabond in too.

What would I do ? Sell it. No point in being a part of history unless you shape it.

i understand a little what you're saying, but damn it would sure be boring to never visit an art museum because none of your paintings hung there or never go to a concert because you weren't part of the band.

that doesn't sound very useful, common

yeah, silly me.

A memory will last a lifetime but won't pay your utility bill. I've often sold something for quick cash that I later regretted. In the end though you have to do what is best for you. Very easy for anyone to tell you what he or she would do when they aren't in your shoes.

The key is my indifference to my presence at an event of historical significance. I do like visiting art galleries. But, I would not care if a painting gets sold for a record amount for a rookie artist during my visit. And it was not even a suggestion to others though it may seem to be so. It will not be special without the 'I was there' ones. I just do not want to be one of them.

I guess it would be nice to say to my kids, "I remember the game, I was there blah blah.."

It would be better to sell the tickets so you'll have the money in your pocket and could at least tell the kids "I remember the game, I had tickets for it blah blah.."

good point

My Dad had a ticket to game 7 of the 1960 world series a friend was offering to sell him, where Mazeroski won with a walk off homer....

but he had to work at the steel mill...... Because my Dad's Dad got a ticket from one of my dad's co-workers. (my grand-dad was the foreman) and gave that guy the day off instead of my dad.

there were fights about it whenever we visited with my granpa until he died in 2005.

its a great family story that will never die.

I thought about this too. You can score tickets for Sunday's game cheap(er) today.. You could bet that he takes at least more than two days and cash in on it in a few days. Anyone wanna go in on 100 sunday tickets?

 

[Archie]

don't do it Boner

I lost a decent amount of $ trying to anticipate Bond's HR record coinciding with the Giants Visit in Wrigley in July of that year.

He was no where close

sell the tickets

lie to your family

lie to your kids

So what happened? Did Boner go? Did Jeter do it? Clueless.

 

[Saulty]

I heard Jeter is going to wear special shoes on the day he hits 3,000 hits. They are made to not ground out into double plays.

 

[Boner_18]

The guy that caught Jeter's home run turned it over to the Yankees asking nothing in return. They gave him tickets and some other stuff.

 

[Boner_18]

Again, have tickets to Game 5 this time. Piddly notional returns ($100 total) but high ROI (%120+).

Sell or go? Maybe wait for the weather...

 

[CaliGirlNY]

whens the game - i'll buy them from you.

 

[roguejuror]

Get that money bone bone

 

[MonkeyF0cker]

I'd go to that game. I really wouldn't have cared about Jeter's 3000th. But playoff baseball is amazing.

 

[CaliGirlNY]

for real i will buy the tickets. i'd like to go and take my friend how much are you selling them for?
