How much is three innings of baseball worth? As you can see, these seats are in the terrace deck of Citizens Bank Park (Sec. 426, row 3) , but are still going for $700 a pop on StubHub right now. That could buy me a whole crapload of macaroni.

I'm torn. Do I want to be a part of history with my father as this all happens, filled with the treacly memories that will last a lifetime? Yes. Am I considering the possibility that the Phillies could lose and watching that happen isn't worth pissing on $1,400? Yes. But as a fan, as a good son, I'm opting to go, regardless of the outcome, hoping and praying this fucker ends in an on-field celebration that will quiet these greedy thoughts invading my brain.
