Put ME in coach, Look at ME, I can be Centerfield!

So, I'm sure most of you weren't aware, but I grew up playing baseball and it's my overall most favorite sport out there. 

However, I'm sure many of you know that tonight is the 2007 Major League All-Star Baseball Game, right here in our backyard in San Francisco at AT&T Park where the San Francisco Giants play.  In case you didn't know, MLB's finest and usually most deserving players will be battling out in what is coined as the "Midsummer Classic."  I'm biased toward the American League being the faithful Yankees fan that I am. 

Of course tickets to get into the event will be a hot commodity since having so many stars playing in one game is rare.  If you want to attend tonight's game I suggest checking StubHub.com to find tickets to the All Star game.  (Game starts at 5:00 PM PST)

You may want to put some pine tar on your seat if you want to purchase All Star game tickets so you don't fall out when you learn that the prices range from $215 - $8,999.  By the way, the $215 price is for standing room only. 

There are also 5 listings on eBay for tickets to the game, but nothing a low as $215. 

I think instead of purchasing tickets, I'll just remember that classic John Fogerty song, "Centerfield" and say, "Put me in coach, I'm ready to play today! Look at me, I can be Centerfield." That will definitely be one of the best spots for viewing America's National Pasttime. 

Oh, by the way, in case you were wondering, there are about 111 eBay Stores items returned with the words "John Fogerty centerfield" typed into the search box. 

Good luck with purchasing tickets, but if you're on a budget, then maybe a CD with the Centerfield song by John Fogerty is a better idea. 

Whether you're racing to buy tickets (good luck with that!) or, like me, on a budget (I'll watch the game on TV and be content with the John Fogerty CD), you can find tons of All-Star Game and MLB memorabilia under the eBay umbrella. I hope saying umbrella doesn't jinx the game with rain (hey it's Fog City, and rain in summer is just a base hit away).
