Roy Halladay Throws Perfect Game in Marlins 1-0 Loss to Phillies

The heat today is going to melt Moyer.

I'm so glad the first game of the season I go to was a perfect game by the opposing pitcher.

Because he dominates us lately?

I was close... we only got one run, but it was good enough.

So the Marlins are now selling unused tickets to the perfect game. I find that interesting... nothing like a good ole' money grab! They also removed the pitching rubber and gave it to Halladay which is nice.

In addition, they removed home plate and plan on using it in the new ballpark as part of the team's history or something... I find that odd. I guess I understand that it has only been done 20 times and it's a prett big deal, but to celebrate it happening against you?

I mean, if people want the tickets, why not sell em?

Ticket stubs on eBay going for as much as $60.

I mean, if people want the tickets, why not sell em?

Yeah, I don't get why it is a problem. I guess they should just throw them away.

FWIW, the White Sox did the exact same thing last year so it isn't unprecedented.

[MiamiHomer]

Well it was their player that threw the perfect game so different situation. I have no problem with it either way.

Maybe I'm not understanding this correctly but why would someone want a ticket stub to a game they did not attend? If I was Festa and I was actually there I would laminate that shit and pass it down to future generations.

I guess if it's purely for the $$ appreciation of the stub itself then why not but.....

[Party]

Collecting ticket stubs is actually pretty big.

[Namaste]

Collecting ticket stubs is actually pretty big.

I was not aware that collecting stubs to events that one did not attend was big.

That changes everything.

and you can tell people you were there

Removing the home plate and keeping it for historical purposes is actually fitting, I think, since it perfectly (no pun intended) demonstrates our team's offensive approach for what seems like forever.
