Aw shucks

The Redhawks used to let you in for free after the fifth inning, since the game is considered official at that point. So tonight, after dropping the girls off with their mother in Bricktown, I strolled over to the ballpark to see what inning it was. It was the top of the fifth, so I thought, hey, I'll catch the rest of the game. But when I asked the gate attendant about it, he said they don't do that anymore. How stupid is that? Especially with attendance as low as it has been for the playoffs. You'd think they would put a big flashing sign by all the gates that said "please join us for free after 5", just to drive more home support. The money they'd generate from concessions alone would make that effort worthwhile in my opinion.

Stop being so greedy baseball team owners. Give something back to the little people.
