Baseball Stadiums
Shawn Morrison: What occurred to us is that for all the money we save on ticket prices [going to see the Red Sox in Baltimore], we add so much in travel cost that we might as well put it towards buying good seats at Fenway.
Shawn Morrison: Or maybe I should take all the money I normally spend on the Sox and hire a de-programmer to turn me into a Mets fan.
Me: Yeah, that second one is a good idea
Shawn Morrison: Granted, then I'd also need a therapist.
Me: I bet you could get the owner's box at Shea for the price of a weekend of rental car to go to Baltimore.
Shawn Morrison: True. Especially since they knocked Shea down 7 months ago.
Shawn Morrison: They are literally selling the seats on eBay for $30 a pop.
Me: The new stadium isn't still called Shea?
Me: Oh, it's Citi Field.
Me: How corporate.
Shawn Morrison: Exactly. But give it 30 years and everyone will be like "No! You can't name it Corpotech field, we need to preserve the Citi legacy!"
Shawn Morrison: My co-worker gave her daughter the middle name "Shea" after the Mets. Whoops!
Shawn Morrison: Hopefully she doesn't suffer the same fate as my old goldfish "Manny Ramirez".
Me: It's not fair that insane people get to name their children just as normal people do.
Shawn Morrison: At least it's a middle name and has some plausibility as an actual name should her daughter attempt to hide its origins.
Shawn Morrison: Better than like "Safeco" or "Comerica" or something. But yes, rather unfortunate.
Me: My first child will be Thomas Safeco Murray.
Shawn Morrison: Not as good as mine. Nicholas Everything Bagel Morrison.
Me: That kid is going to be president.
