Are you kidding us? The Anaheim Angels are selling their World Series tickets for $60-$175
We don't have to remind anyone that the A's tickets were more expensive than that, correct? The cheap seats at the World Series were set at $110.
This is not New York City we're talking about. We're chatting about blue collar Oakland. A city where a low-income housing project has a higher priority than a $500 million sports complex and business promenade.
This is Anaheim we're talking about in the scope of Hollywood and harboring the baseball Championship sentiments of all of Southern California. An area whose two professional football teams happen to be UCLA and USC so they won't be a distraction.
So Cal, an area where breast implants, nose jobs and cellular phones are required gifts for 16th birthdays now has the ability to throw their disposable cash at a baseball team in the playoffs. Will we see a Beverly Hills 90210 reunion (we'd prefer a Ben Stiller Show reunion, sans Ben Stiller and Andy Dick)? Are the kids form that 70's Show going to be sitting behind one dugout and Malcolm in the Middle behind the other?
You don't think FOX is going to buy a ton of tickets and put their stars that happen to reside locally in Southern California in good seats at the games? You don't think ABC is trying to get John Ritter and Drew Carey front row seats down the lines in an effort for free face time?
You got sick of seeing Jack Nicholson at Lakers games during the playoffs? Wait until you see the hoards of media whores and hangers on at Angels games this week.
Start the Charlie Sheen Denise Richardson watch!
Hell, we'll sit through it if we don't have to hear any mention of the Angels in the Outfield movie.
Does Christopher Lloyd know how to read a script or does his agent have a rubber stamp?
