Yesterday, we went to Antonio's and Tommy's here in Spring Grove.
While getting out $10 sixteen-inch pizza at Tommy's, we got into a discussion with some of the bartenders. We all agreed our two Chicago baseball teams were playing mighty poorly, with both occupying last place in their respective Central Divisions.
Chris said our teams were "Leading Last." Kenny said we were "First in Last." I think they have it.
1984 CUBS PLAYOFF/WORLD SERIES TICKETS
While at Antonio's (enjoying $1 bottles), we saw Tim looking at a picture frame. We asked what it was and he showed us a full set of Chicago Cubs (Leading Last this year) 1984 playoff and World Series tickets.
Tony, the owner had bought them from somebody for $100 and had been offered $500 for them. Cub fans? Who could figure?
These were box seats and what we really found interesting was the cost. The box seats for the Playoffs cost $20 (just shy of the cost of a beer these days) and the price of that box seat for the World Series was.............$30.
You couldn't even get bleacher seats for that price today, even on the rare "Regular" game price days.
