Yup, and even if you charge double the admission, you're not going to get double parking, double programs, double concession - there's only so much a person can eat. Scheduled single-gate DH's are never, ever happening again.TwinTownBisonFan wrote:the players will never go for it.SuperHornet wrote:
So you charge double (or maybe 2/3 of double) to get in in the first place. What's the big? They make bank on parking, program, and concessions anyway, especially since they don't allow anyone to bring outside stuff in.
the managers will never go for it.
think about what a double header would do to a bullpen... back when they regularly sent pitchers out there to throw 200 pitches and go 9 it was more feasible... back when the players were glorified indentured servants, you could get away such things - but not now.

You mean move the A's right?

the affluence that serves hockey so well in the winter will do the A's well... the corporate money will too.

Which is exactly how a Sac Kings move to Anaheim might be blocked....Silenoz wrote:The Giants are blocking an A's move to San Jose on "territorial rights".GannonFan wrote:

Re: Could MLB actually realign logically?
that made more sense in my head - but yes, they in this case is the A's and the Giants need paying off to allow them to move in to "giant" territoryGannonFan wrote:You mean move the A's right?
