So I is listening to the Yankees game on the radio (they is winnin')

and they are talking about having ALREADY SOLD 3,400,000 tickets for the season, and the new stadium only holds 3,800,000 for all of the home games.

Three million, four hundred thousand tickets already sold. And it's April 13th. That is huge numbers. Tickets run from $14 to $300 game day prices per seat.

1. Twins have sold out EVERY home game for the entire season.

Did the mighty Yankees do that last year for their shiny new stadium? Not quite.
And the Twins are a much smaller market...Hmmm. Twins fans>>>>>>>Yankees fans.....

2. Phillies sold 3 million in advance. They were at 103% last season.

3.6 million. Their max is around 3.4 million.

3. With a $200 million payroll for the year, you gotta sell tickets.

It's the ONLY way to buy a World Series.

5. If they keep playing the way they have so far

you may just get that 28th this year. Hate to say it, but your team looks strong.
