[QUOTE="Illiniaaron, post: 1542389, member: 29101"] I grew up on a farm (still farm today) and back then the local feed company would give you so many tickets to a Cubs game based on how much feed you bought and provide a bus ride up to the game. We bought enough feed for four tickets and the trip just happened to be scheduled for that day. Dad, myself, and two buddies luckily were able to be there that day in a stroke of luck. We usually went to one game a year based on that system and I got a chance to see some pretty cool stuff, including Bruce Sutter strike out the side in the ninth on nine pitches against the Mets and Dave Rader of all people win a game with an opposite-field grand slam in the tenth inning of a game. Also got to see some great opposing players like Dave Winfield and Ozzie Smith when they played for the Padres and Pete Rose with the Expos, etc. [/QUOTE]
