The Florida Marlins are selling tickets, at face value, from Roy Halladay’s perfect game. So for about $20 you can get a cheap seat ticket to a ballgame that already happened a long time ago in a ballpark far, far away. Yesterday I was online and was sooooooo close to buying one. My mouse hovered over the “add to cart” button for a few minutes before I eventually just closed the window. There have only been 20 perfect games ever thrown, so I still am sorta-kinda thinking about it, but since I resisted that initial impulse buy I think I’ll be able to pass. Especially since I’ve read that it’s not a nice looking ticket like you’d get at the gate if you went to the game in person, but just a generic Ticketmaster kind of ticket. (And, as I was writing this, another perfect game was almost thrown in Detroit, so they pretty much happen every day!)
I do have tickets or ticket stubs to Paul Molitor’s 3000th hit, Cecil Fielder’s first career stolen base, 1st game at Target Field. I attended Puckett’s 2000th hit (but lost that ticket stub), and awhile ago I sold on eBay my ticket stub from a game where AJ Pierzynski and Corey Koskie got their first ML hits. This year I also went to the game where Trevor Plouffe got his first ML hit. They’re just ticket stubs, but still kind of cool if you’re a big baseball nerd like I am.
