The Reds should do that, except if you hit a HR you get to start in LF.

I just bought a half-page advertisement for our winery in the 2015 Royals Yearbook. Pretty excited that my business is going to be advertised in the Yearbook that celebrates their World Series win.

FWIW if anyone else is in a MLB market, the company that does the yearbooks for the teams can be talked WAY down from their advertised rate.

Jimmy Rollins goes from $11M per year to a minor league deal (though it probably includes some good money if he makes the roster).

So I never clicked on the link or read the fine print but I assume there is something stopping semi-pro guys from going and getting free tickets? I have a friend that didn't even play professionally that might be able to hit a batting practice homerun. A potential season ticket holder couldn't fund him to go hit a homerun for him? (I get that it is just the fun of being down on the field but free season tickets are big chunk of change)

People who played professional or college baseball weren't eligible.
