Yeah good point on the potentially skewed demographics. Hundreds of $$ per ticket are gonna price out most baseball fans. Also priced out many families. The HR Derby is a perfect event for kids but my guess is about 5% were kids. My boy was getting elbowed out of getting autographs by some thirty-somethings in Birkenstocks. Backing up your point.
Feel bad for Oakland fans, can’t imagine losing my team.
