the view from the cheap seats
There's something that ties together the three cities I've lived in the longest: baseball. My dad had dugout season passes when I was little at Dodger Stadium - the same place where the Dodgers and Cubs are currently tied in the ninth. I spent five years in Boston with the Sox. Two summers were spent on MIT frat row (cheapest housing to be found), which is in walking distance from Fenway. One summer, I was in LA and went to several games with my sister who is a huge Dodger fan. And for the last two years, I've been livin on Chicago's North Side. My first summer was a charmed experience: my roommate worked at Wrigley and my ex-boyfriend kept getting free tickets. I was on WGN kissing behind the first base line. I learned what a true Chicago dog is (different, not better than a Dodger dog). I look forward to finding more baseball fans to enjoy cheap beer and hot summer days with. And I agree with Tommy Craggs that baseball is waging a war on the cheap seats and that's not a good thing.
