Evidently the tickets for the MLB All-Star Game, to be played at Yankee Stadium in July, are being printed on rice paper or, the ink used on the tickets is oil-based. The prices make filling your tank seem like a bargain.
Here is the comparison from 2007 to 2008.
Furures Game tickets rose from $22.50-$125.00 to $50.00-$225.00. The Home Run Derby went from $50.00-$225.00 to $100.00-$650.00. And if you are fortunate enough to attend the game itself, you will pay $150.00-$725.00, up from $75.00-$285.00 in 2007.
Talk about double-digit inflation! How many tickets are you buying? RIDICULOUS.

When Brett took today off, he asked his co-workers to cover for him. They thought he said, “cover my office with Post-It Notes.” How’d that happen?
