Shannon,
Just a quick comment on your enjoyable over-analysis of the Istanbul Mets ad.
You were in fact able to order specific seats if you were a season ticket holder. I was, and my wife purchased me my two specific seats. While they have the numbers that my seats were, it is impossible to know for sure that they are actually my seats, although I have no reason to believe that they are not).
Thanks for distracting me while I study for the bar,
Harold

Patrick from Germany suggests it’s a 1pm east game, and the long summer daylight allows the couple to watch live on ESPN America. Patrick says they are showing up to 8 games a week live.
I love how many of you got a kick out of the discussion.
