The seats are great (Section 150, Row J (fourth row), seats 1 & 2). They went for $45 each last year. Would you be interested in buying a few games? If so, I will just mention to him that I know a guy who would buy some games. I don't want him to give up those seats.Andyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17983116702428536760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8497515093724533916.post-73103826971260646342006-10-30T21:34:00.000-05:002006-10-30T21:34:00.000-05:00I will believe Larrry Dolan when he has actually a...I will believe Larrry Dolan when he has actually acted on his promises...but we have the nucleus to contend in 2007.Berniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09020973073310382666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8497515093724533916.post-72792697487073908562006-10-30T22:33:00.000-05:002006-10-30T22:33:00.000-05:00Andy...let me ponder for a day or two if I have a ...Andy...let me ponder for a day or two if I have a day or two...and I'll throw you an e-mail. My pops and I used to have season tickets at the Muni, and the first couple of years at the Jake. I'm not in the vacinity at this point, but if I find out the games, I may make it a point to come up and take you up on that offer. My son is 4, and hasn't been to a major league game yet.
