Seattle hosting the MLB Allstar game tonight

FREE......FREE.....FREE...........ride

Do you have a spare $300 and time to waste? If you live in Seattle consider going to the MLB Allstar game. Invite your wife or mistress and it’s only $600. Who’s it gonna be? Watch out for the zoom cam. They broadcast your face on the big screen. Imagine how many marriages have ended because of it. Probably not because of the mistress either, but because of the money. Money is a marriage wrecker.

You may have thought I was kidding on the ticket price. The VRR don’t kid around. Misinformation. I’ve been to many Mariner baseball games. I sat in section 27 just two rows back. It’s right above the Mariner dugout. Once Senator Maria Cantwell sat in front of me in a purple leather coat. These are high roller seats. The person who has these seats, (4) is the most famous person you don’t know. He’s also the richest person I know. He invented this software program called Excel. Have you ever heard of it? I know him well. I know his family well. I’ve been to his mansion and had dinner—pizza. He has a call list of names he calls when he can’t make a game or has a couple of seats open. If you turn him down X amount of times you get kicked off the call list. I dropped off around 10 years ago. If I call him I’m sure he’d put me back on.

A few months ago I was out urban vagabonding and he saw me. He stopped and we talked awhile. I told him I’m out of a job and nearly homeless. He said, “See you later Mike,” and drove off. I had a great walk.

Seattle isn’t really a big baseball town. I’d say out of all of the sports in this city it is the least liked so I expect a lot of $300 empty seats. In an attempt to get someone to the game King County is offering FREE rides on all of their transit systems, bus, ferry, police car, you name it. City council members may even offer piggyback rides to the game.

You can feel their fear. Televised game in Seattle, beautiful sunny day and 45,869 empty seats. Seattle has about that many homeless so maybe they’ll get desperate at the last minute and just let them all in for free. Speaking as someone who has been to many of these professional games a cheaper form of entertainment can be had with your lady and her favorite wine.

Three for her and one for you. Twelve dollars and sixty-two cents verses six hundred dollars. Play the game right and you may get to second base. What are you going to do big $pender?
