All you can eat?

For those of us who aren't used to actually purchasing our food at the park, it may come as a surprise to find out some parks are creating "all you can eat" sections.  Choose this section at your peril... check out the video at Awful Announcing. They might as well put a scarlet "F" on your ticket when they send you to this section.

Must be in the front row...

The Brewers are auctioning off two tickets to their opening day game against the Giants.  The seats are, actually, the "Best Worst Seats in the House," in homage to Uecker's Miller Lite ads from the 1980s.    Bid as of now is $17 for the pair.

Baseball in the Coliseum

The flip side of my strange tendency to get up early in the morning is that I tend to fall asleep pretty early -- even on a weekend night.  Nevertheless, I'm going to try and keep it together long enough to catch at least some of the exhibition game between the Dodgers and the Red Sox at the Los Angeles Coliseum, which for those of us on the east coast won't be starting until about 10 PM.  Granted the left field won't be as short as it was when Wally Moon was whacking his "moon shots" over the 40-foot screen -- though I think 200 feet is short enough.  I have mixed feelings about the situation surrounding this game -- specifically the appropriateness of having the Sox get back in spring training mode -- but it's not going to keep me from enjoying the spectacle.

The Golden Idol of Sizemore

Grady worship is not a new thing.  However, I think that it's gone to a either a new high or low, depending on whether or not you're a Tribe fan, with the anouncement that Sizemore's 2007 Gold Glove season will be recognized at the Jake (sorry, now Progressive Field) May 24 with a golden bobblehead.  Searching the internet, I can't find any other player so honored.  The closest I've been able to find for any active player is this gold based statue for Chien Ming Wang. Luckilly, I he's been able to keep a pretty level head despite the admitted rabidity of his female fandom. Hope this doesn't swell his head any more.
