I'm going away for four days to Aachen and Tuebingen to visit good old Reiner.....so no posts until Monday.....but I am concerned about just how many professional sports have been implicated in corruption accusations recently... Is there any effect on ticket sales? I mean: cricket, football in the UK, football in Italy. Is this the downfall of professional sports? Will there be a rejuvenation of interest in local sports? My parents like going to see the AA Bridgeport baseball team more than going to any Mets or Yankees game. There's a neighborhood feel, you are closer to the actual players, no parking lot traffic jams. And my mom's not into the Mr. Universe, steroid look a la Barry Bonds anyway....
