I remember as a young man in San Diego, being able to go see a day game or doubleheader. It wasn't cheap if you wanted good seats, but you could often find someone scalping their tickets for a decent price. Once, in 1984 I was able to get a pair in the first row right off first base. The memory still sticks with me today. Jack Murphy Stadium didn't charge for parking, so it was just gas, tickets and beer/hotdogs. I think the day cost me and my buddy like $30 each in 1984, and seeing Tony Gwynn was priceless. According to the Internet, that's about $85 in today's simoleons. Now these were like the best seats in the house and I got lucky with the scalper.
