The Major League Baseball playoffs begin tomorrow afternoon at three venues. And believe it or not there are still tickets left at three of the four playoff stadiums.
I have a hard time comprehending this living in the best baseball city in the nation but tickets are still available for the first two games of the Cubs - Diamondbacks games. And the D'Backs aren't alone. There are still tickets left for the weekend games at Edison Field in Anaheim for the Angels - Red Sox series and at Coors Field in Denver for the Rockies - Phillies series.
I was in Phoenix about six weeks ago and had the chance to attend a game there. At the time the D'Backs were in first place and playing the Milwaukee Brewers who were also a contender in the NL Central. To add to the excitement Brandon Webb of the Diamondbacks had a 42 inning scoreless streak at the time. I thought it would be a sellout and I might have hard time finding a ticket. But, no. That wasn't the case at all. I ended up sitting behind home plate and the D'Backs sold only 35 thousand tickets on a night that should have been a sellout. You would think more people than that would have stumbled into the stadium to beat the 112 degree heat since it is always 75 degrees inside the domed stadium.
