It feels like it’s been a month since I last saw a baseball game. But a baseball game we finally have tonight! It’s Game 1 of the World Series. And guess what? You can still go see it in person if you want:
So, yeah, $6,000 is obviously a lot of money. But what if you invited like 20 friends and split the cost and had a fun-as-hell World Series party in there? $300 is still a lot of money, but I’ve certainly spent $300 in one night on things that were significantly less cool than watching the World Series out my window. If you’re a 28-year-old in Toronto with 19 friends, some disposable income, and no kids to put to bed, this really seems like a no-brainer to me.
The rest of us will have to content ourselves with the TV broadcast, which means we get to once again play and lose the John Smoltz doesn’t mention a sport other than baseball while broadcasting a World Series game challenge. How many innings will he make it tonight before his voice finally registers some excitement while talking about golf or Michigan football? Six? Seven? Given the location, I think we hear something about hockey in the fifth, immediately followed by some talk about golf courses in the greater Toronto area. Can’t wait.
It’s Blake Snell vs. Trey Yesavage. Coverage begins at 8PM on FOX. First pitch will be to Shohei Ohtani, so don’t miss it.
