Don't Take Me Out to the Baseball Game

Anyone paying to see the outrageous prices at the all-star game deserve to be labeled suckers of the year. Why pay for men to stand with a stick and hit the ball?
As far as the nostalgia being created by the demise of Yankee Stadium,the taxpayers are paying for this new stadium whether you like it or not. Why glorify George Steinbrenner? Didn't President Nixon pardon him? No wonder Mr. S donated plenty when Nixon ran for the presidency.
The Congressional area where the stadium is located is one of the poorest in the nation. In reality, will the people living there benefit from a new stadium? Methinks not. Ditto for the demise of Shea Stadium.
