    Anyone catch his story? Apparently, he's a Mets fan from Queens (Martin, was that you?) on his way to Austrailia who decided to go to the game at the last minute to kill time from a layover. My question is: how did homeboy get a ticket into the right field stands at the last minute? Stubhub? I mean, you'd think those tickets would be the toughest to get in all of sports, yet he somehow found one and won the lottery so to speak.

    To satisfy my curiosity yesterday I checked StubHub for the right field and center field seats...I found some as low as $95.

    That's wild. You would think they would be harder to get. Hell, had I known that I might've flown out there and taken a chance.

    he is doubling up with a met jersey and a t shirt. that guy not only lives in my borough, and is a fan of the mets, but he really looks like me as well, with the pasty pale skin and dumb look.

    That raises an interesting question... what if it would have happened in Chicago? :confused:
