best $6 that I ever spent

[milagros317]

Whenever the Dodgers are here in NYC, to play the Mets at CitiField or the Yankees at Yankee Stadium, I buy good seats as soon as tickets go on sale. Good seats are not cheap here. 🙁 Good, but not excellent, seats go for between $100 and $150 these days.

Yesterday, looking over the baseball schedule for the day, I saw that the Mets would be hosting the putrid motherfucking hated jints bastards. Given that those putrid motherfucking hated jints bastards are in last place in the NL West, I expected that demand for tickets would be less than usual with lots of seats available at the last minute. (In fact, attendance was under 30 thousand.)

I went online and found a seat directly behind home plate, although at the highest level (nose bleed territory), for $6 on the resale market. I had to actually pay $10 with the convenience fee and delivery charge. (Delivery charge? A ripoff--the delivery is as a PDF attached to an email.)

The game was most enjoyable, from beginning to end. The Mets scored four runs in the bottom of the first inning to take a 4-0 lead and were never seriously challenged. The Mets cruised to a 6-1 victory over the putrid motherfucking hated jints bastards.

Thank you, Mets. That was the best $6 that I ever spent.

PS: Of course, I wore my Brooklyn Dodger cap and a Dodger leather jacket with patches commemorating the World Series wins by the Dodgers in the 20th century. Unlike games at CitiField against the Dodgers, Mets fans gave me no grief about it yesterday.

I did see two other people there wearing Dodger caps, in their case L.A. Dodger caps. They were a man and a woman sitting next to each other. By appearance, they were both of Chinese ethnicity and in their 20's. I don't know if they were a married couple, an unmarried couple, brother and sister, or just friends attending a game together.

As I walked by, returning to my seat in the bottom of the third inning, with my Italian sausage with peppers and onions on top, I remarked, "Ah, you two came here to root for the hated jints to lose, too, not because you're Mets fans."

I was happy to hear the answer, "Yes, I hate them, too. Death to the jints!" spoken with just the trace of a Chinese accent from the woman.

Unfortunately, her companion said something in Mandarin to her and she turned away. Likely, it was "Don't talk to strange old men." 😛

I've never been to Citi Field, but seats behind home plate in the nosebleed section are pretty solid in most parks. You get a pretty good vantage point of the whole field.

Though between the Giants and Mets, I may have to side with the Giants, since the Mets are a division rival of my Braves. But hey, to each his own

I am a Dodger fan living in the SF Bay Area and don't think my hate for the Giants is any where near the level yours is.
Maybe in my twenties I used to hate the Giants. Not much room or energy for hate these days.

I was lucky enough to have a field service trip to NJ 2 years back. I traveled a day early and got see the Mets vs Dodgers and it was deGrom vs Kershaw.
Best $30.00 the company ever spent on me.

Citi Field is a beautiful ballpark. I've been there several times since I returned to NY in 2012.

Mils got a great deal on his seats, Most of the seats I found were expensive.
