4 tickets behind home plate worth $200 to a Major League Baseball game -- Free!
Parking pass worth $20 -- Free!
Taking a family of 5 to the Baltimore Orioles game for half the normal cost and the O's actually won -- PRICELESS!
But at the risk of sounding ungrateful -- when did Major League Baseball become so expensive?! I want to thank my husband's employer, Builder's 1st Choice for providing the free tickets and parking pass -- because had it not been for that -- we would have dropped $300.00 in one afternoon at the park! It was 95+ degrees and our seats were great -- but not in the shade. Do you know it costs $3.75 for a 16-ounce bottle of water?!?! Talk about price gouging. And, as I learned from our meteorologists, drinking alcohol is not a good way to cool off in the heat -- but if I'm shelling out 4-bucks -- it better be a brew! 
Unless we get free tickets again -- it will probably be our only O's game this season -- instead we're headed to City Island -- Go Senators!
