I know none of you care but ........ (the Baseball thread)

Risso won't now get any games but he might get the victory parade

That could be fun!

Yep, the victory parade is Wednesday morning, virtually past the hotel we're staying in.  Wish we could have been here to see a game or at least be in a bar when they won last night, but hey ho.

[Risso]

Got me and the kids a Red Sox baseball cap each for the parade tomorrow.  It starts at Fenway, then continues into the city centre past Boston Common.

Seriously though, enjoy the atmosphere.

I've inflicted Aston Villa on them, be nice for them to see fans of a team enjoying themselves for a change! 😉

[JD]

Rightly so. You can tell them about the times when Villa used to parade trophies(and see if they believe you).

Just hope I can afford one.  Where do you suggest would be the best place to sit for a good view?

[UK Redsox]

I haven't seen the official stadium layout yet Steve.

However, my advice is always to try to get behind home plate, even if it means sitting in the upper deck.

Often seats down the line are more expensive than those high behind the plate, but offer a better view.

This will be even more noticeable at the West Ham Council House because the seats won't have been designed to point at second bases (as is the case in modern purpose built baseball stadiums)

If you've pre-registered for tickets for the London games, check your email.

The codes have been sent out

[hilts_coolerking]

Yep, got my code this morning.  The only info I can find on actual pricing is that tickets range from £30 to £385.

[SteveN]

I think I will be looking towards the £30 tickets and take binoculars.

[PeterWithesShin]

Shit the bed!

[hilts_coolerking]

Shit indeed.  See you in the bleachers.

Bloody hell, was thinking of treating my two lads who have no interest in baseball but thought this might be a good introduction.  Perhaps not.

Yep, these prices are going to probably mean that casual/curious spectators won’t bother.

However, the games might still sell out in pre-sale
