2 Field Box Seats 5 rows from the Mariners On-Deck circle.........$600 Full tank of gasoline................$40 MA turnpike tolls......................$6 Preferred parking....................$30 2 sausage/onions/peppers sandwiches and 2 bottled waters on Yawkey Way..........$20 2 Red Sox caps.....................$40 2007 Red Sox Yearbook.........$10 2 Legal Seafood Clam Chowders.....................$12 10 Premium Beers.................$75 2 Fenway Franks...................$10 Paplebon shirt for my son.......$35 Wally the Mascot large stuffed animal for my wife.......$20 Losing Red Sox Run Line Bet for 3 units.........................$1,500 Telling Richie Sexon to his face that he's an overpaid stiff......................AWESOME Watching JD Drew break up a no-hitter in the bottom of the 8th inning......VERY AWESOME Spending 9 hours today with my dad (who just turned 80 last week). Talking baseball and enjoying some very precious time together.........PRICELESS Moral of the story:
I don't care what it costs. If you have an opportunity to spend some time with somebody you love, DO IT. Because you never know how much time you have left.
It cost me $2,398, but it was one of the best days of my life.

#17 Posted: 4/12/2007 8:00:43 AM Maybe you should have made it 12 beers, it would have only cost you .006216328% more than it did. Only a drop in the bucket, when you break it down. Glad you enjoyed it, sorry you team cost you.  |
