Did you read down a bit further? "The Dodgers are charging $30, $26 and $24 for everything else between the bases, and $18 for reserved seats otherwise." If you don't want to pay $90, nobody is forcing you to. You have plenty of other choices. This is the same complaint we hear about the new stadium $1500 seats behind home plate. You don't want to pay $1500, there are plenty of other good seats available for $12-$100. Ruining? Did you read down a bit further?

They called it easy money. Not so sure this year with the economy the way it is. Spring training is a great trip. Some baseball, a little golf, some beach time, more baseball and sun. what's not to like Friends who had “season” spring training tickets for the Yankees were getting double thier money on stub hub last year.

Nothing earth-shattering, but it's another $1 mil for the coffers. I know this is off topic, but there’s no open thread tonight: Yanks have sold Rasner’s right to a Japanese team (at his request).
