Ray scored some free Royals tickets through work for today's baseball game against the Cleveland Indians. Pretty nice perk, huh? We sat directly behind home plate in the shade in the lower section. NICE seats.
The only problem is that along with the free tickets were two Royals caps for Titus and his friend, Raj at $9.95 a piece - two BBQ sandwiches at $7.25 a pop, two hot dogs totaling $7.50, peanuts & cotton candy at $5.50 each, a frosty malt for $4.25, two flavor-ice popsicles $7, two sodas about $10, $5 for a program, and parking for $9...I don't think I left anything out. I suppose the free special edition river otter wearing a KC Royals cap and holding a KC Zoo fish compliments of Build a Bear Workshop has some monetary value...but the bottom line is...BEWARE taking two kindergarten boys to an MLB game even if you score some FREE TICKETS!
P.S. In spite of the significant financial investment in an afternoon at the ball park, it was a very fun day - the Royals even obliged us with a six run winning effort! Something totally unanticipated!
P.P.S. In about the 8th inning an ad popped up on the jumbo screen scoreboard. "Don't forget! Every Sunday is Family Day at Kaufman Stadium! 4 Tickets, 4 Hotdogs, 4 Sodas, 4 Bags of Peanuts, and a Souvenir Program all for $44!" ... Did I mention we had free tickets today?
