You don't have a room wallpapered in pennants?

Guess we know who isn't a real fan.

My season ticket is not even 400.

I have a major problem with taxpayers paying for a stadium that they are priced out of. That's shameful.

How are fans priced out of Camden Yards? What economic impact did keeping an MLB baseball team in Baltimore have for the city?

How much of Pujols WAR occurred while under club control?  

46.2 rWAR.

They foolishly didn't start his service clock early to get the seventh year.

70-46.2=23.8

23.8 x 8 = 190.4 

so his FA years were worth about 190 million.

Last year's performance dropped him under 100 rWAR for his career.

- 1.8rWAR.  Made Trumbo look good.

But still a better signing than Chris Carter.

There's than fan cost index some publication runs (or ran) that tracked ballpark expenses.  I think they assumed each customer would buy a mid-range ticket, a hot dog, a beer, a hat, a pennant, a thing of ice cream, a program, pay for parking... they'd end up with a family of four spending $400 to go to a single game.  It's absolutely ludicrous.  I don't think my family of four has spent $400 on the last three games we went to combined.

  Other people don't want to bring in food in or sit in the upper deck and want to have a beer or two.   400 dollars seems realistic for average family of 4 who goes a couple times a year.   The more you go probably the less you spend per game.

Mike Mussing 5 WAR at 39. Curt Schilling 5.5 WAR at 39. Rodger Clemens 7.8 WAR at 42

Phil Broke 10 War at 39.  7.9 at 40

Moronic argument.  It is like saying we should have brought back Freddie Garcia and made him our DH as he would have been cheaper than Trumbo.
