The End of An Era


For 18 years I have gone down to either the baseball stadium or King Soopers to buy tickets for Opening Day the first Saturday they went on sale. You would stand in line with the other fans, talk about the past season, and basically share a special moment. Sometimes Dinger, the Rockies mascot (pictured above), would come around and entertain the children. However, with the Internet, you can now buy the tickets much earlier (for an additional fee, of course) and never have to leave your home. Today there were only single tickets available , and the cheapest one I could buy was $80 - EIGHTY DOLLARS! So next year I will sit home and order tickets on line, and another cherished tradition will be gone. Bummer.
