And thanks for the kind words about Stealing Home.<br /><br />@ Escaped: Thanks; your comment is appreciated, because that means at least one person thinks the series hasn't gone to shit as we near the end. It's amazing what a little cheaper prices can do for the entire baseball experience. And: it's not cursed!!!1Navin Vaswani (@eyebleaf)https://www.blogger.com/profile/08445618400360263938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2432386330226362504.post-60370247025200682492010-08-25T20:45:08.624-04:002010-08-25T20:45:08.624-04:00I think it's your best post of the series yet....I think it's your best post of the series yet. Love how the D-backs were so accomodating. And I wish Toronto would follow their lead and make food prices lower, and increase fan interaction.<br /><br />I love the new banner. But it's definitely cursed.

And I think that has a lot to do with them trying to get people into the ballpark. They're trying hard, and targeting a younger fan base. And you're right about the SkyDome/Chase comparison, too. Our good ole Dome truly was, as I've said a number of times since I've got back from my trip, ahead of its time.<br /><br />@ infieldfly: Hill's been flirting with the Goddamn Mendoza Line for far too long. You're right: we might have to make a change for 2011.Navin Vaswani (@eyebleaf)https://www.blogger.com/profile/08445618400360263938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2432386330226362504.post-16409759297567768382010-08-24T11:48:07.349-04:002010-08-24T11:48:07.349-04:00The banner looks great, but...
