Take me out to the ball game,
Take me out with the crowd.
Buy me some peanuts and cracker jack,
I don't care if I never get back,
Let me root, root, root for the home team,
If they don't win it's a shame.
For it's one, two, three strikes, you're out,
At the old ball game."

It only cost Gramps six bucks and fifty cents to see his wondrous Whiz Kids get whipped by Joe D, Berra, Billy and the Boys back in 1950.

But if your planning on rolling Gramps out on his steel wheels to catch the Phils this year be prepared to dig deep into the old man's dwindling social security fueled bank account or hit your fading 401 K hard.

It takes jack, and not cracker jack Bubba, to buy Phillies playoff tickets this time.

It doesn't cost peanuts, pal.

So unless ya can grab a quick loan from a bailed out bank Bub ya better go see Sal, Uncle Pete's shady pal, in South Philly to set ya up with some Philly fever fast bucks.

It takes a bunch of Ben's buddy to catch the fever but Ben Franklin was, after all, a Philly fan.

"Phillies tickets are in demand. For the World Series, the market value of Phillies tickets are averaging $1,650.

If you would know the value of money, go try to borrow some; for he that goes a-borrowing goes a-sorrowing.
