[QUOTE="Dee_4_Three_83, post: 1748055, member: 748890"] The game itself isn't the only motivation for prices going up on the opening day tickets. I'm sure a lot of people want to be there for the moment Albert returns and starts his farewell tour, his final opening day with all the Clydesdale/Red Jacket/Ford Truck Parade hoopla. But I think after a dose of reality sets in, like an 0 for 16 stretch and promising production from Yepez, the craze will die down. I would hope Albert just has a magical final year, but the pragmatist in me says he will have a few magical moments, pass the torch, and receive a fond farewell as one of the greats to ever play. Of the 3 that are potentially retiring, Albert may be the greatest when all is said and done, but the other two will have a bigger impact on whether this particular season is championship caliber.
