The Sox don't draw for 2 excellent reasons.. They don't win and people are still boycotting their owner. Sox fans have brains.. well.. most of them anyway. And they refuse to blindly pay money to see s*** on the field. Even the season ticket holders they do have still at every chance voice irritation with Jerry. And the misconseption that any money paid to watch a game there goes directly into his pocket. If the did anything at all to show the fans there was a commitment to winning.. (signing Maggs.. getting a pitcher for more than a season.. etc, etc.. ) fans would show up.
Until then there isn't a damn thing that will be done about the attendance.
The fans won't do what they percieve as throwing their money away..
I can't draw flies either.. I always mess up on the wings..
But I think we sell Frank short on his getting into the hall. I think in general most give him credit for his accomplishments. Right now the contract crap overshadows that. Once he's no longer playing I think he'll get the "love"..
People pay $50 to $75 a seat at Fenway and Yankee stadiums... and if scalping sometimes TRIPLE that.
WIN and people will come.
La, la, la, la.... attendance talk. :headshake
Yea.. good ideas. However we've been "told" that they aren't going to spend $$ unless the fans come out.
So, Brando.. you have a good time out at the park supporting your team this week...?
Rex.. it's not about the money. The money is moot. It's about two players taking their s*** to the media.. and only one getting grief for it. I aggre with you on everything else.
