It now costs a fortune to take a family of 4 to a game. Parking, souveniers, tickets, food and beverages can sometimes require an entire Mom or Dad's paycheck these days.
I still follow the game religiously, but from my rocker-recliner in my living room, enjoying the Detroit Tigers on Cable TV. Even a TV package to see the Tigers costs me an additional $20 per month on my cable bill.
I am fine with paying that. But I would never financially support the lavish lifestyles many players enjoy today. That's why I quit going to Tigers games four years ago. No more will I help pay for yachts, mansions, private planes, resort homes overseas, several foreign sports cars, diamonds-galore.....etc....etc... that I know one Tigers player has today. We have several players that live in this fashion.
Not with my money........ no sirreee!
