[QUOTE="wpr, post: 1454786, member: 4159"] You have good points. As I mentioned it was the 80s and TV revenue along with other income streams have changed a lot since then. I was thinking about it as I was putting my comments down. That said I am still a little skeptical that they would recover it simply by making the playoffs. The FSMW package doesn't count for the postseason. Keep in mind whatever rev ballpark village etal brings in, I am saying they will get that without Harper. BPV is packed for every game. I don't see them selling very many more hotdogs or beers because Harper is across the street. It has to be like the McGwire contract in the late 90s. He got a $1 for each butt in the seats over 2.75 mil. (They only had 2.63 in 1997.) In 98 the Sosa-Mac hr race drew 3.19 fans. [/QUOTE]
