God, what a picture. I wish I was at that game. The closest I ever came to being at something like that was at Shea one time after a really, really long mid-game rain delay. It's like a dream in which the usually huge gulf between you and the Major Leagues shrinks.
6 I was at a spring training game like that once, when the Royals were still training out at Baseball City, FL (aka the middle of nowhere). Maybe a hundred people in the stands. Of course it was a much smaller venue. Had a nice chat with John Mayberry. He was coaching first at the time.
I went to a Rams game against the Falcons at Angel Stadium when I was a kid, I swear, it looked like there were more people on the sidelines then there were in the seats.
Maybe the Marlins need to start discounting, and heavily. Dollar days, for instance.
I always wanted to attend a game like this to increase tremendously my odds at a getting a game ball.
