Since I'm missing baseball season so much, I decided to do a retro style game entry from a few years ago, when my dad and I followed the Cubs to Pittsburgh.

Gather 'round kids. I want to tell you about one of the biggest mistakes I've ever made.
You saw in my ticket frame that I had a ticket to the 2009 Winter Classic. However, I marked it with an asterisk; I never actually saw it live.
In late 2008, the popularity of the Blackhawks went through the roof. It wasn't always that way though.

My Strange Addiction:Tickets
This really is an addiction sometimes, and it comes in two parts.
First, I love seating charts. I pick out a random team and look at their chart to see their ticket price breakdown. I do it mainly to compare to Chicago, and think "If I lived in (this city), how much more or less would I pay to see a game?".

Starting from Scratch - The Ball Itself
If you guessed the topic correctly based on how I ended the last entry, good job.
Major League Baseballs are made by the Rawlings Company, which you can see by simply looking at the logo above the sweet spot on a ball. It doesn't need to be an official Major League ball, either. At any given sporting goods store, nearly all the baseballs you see will be made by Rawlings. They're not limited to just the balls either; their specialty is any baseball equipment, and remain the most recognizable brand name in the game at any level.
In 1955, Rawlings was purchased by the Spalding Company, who, at the time, was the exculsive supplier of balls to the Major Leagues. For the 1976 season, Spalding passed those duties to Rawlings permanently.
