I love point 7 of “let the audience laugh”. I can totally see this being a pain point of not having a pause before your next joke. Pausing and silence is so powerful and is also exhibited in sales calls, and can drive suspense to the next joke or even a joke you’re in the middle of

I wouldn't agree...minor league teams appeal to gimmicks at all costs and have distorted stats because the balance of the game is meant for big-leaguers.

I guess how I should have phrased this was for a family that wants to bring their kids to a ball game to experience the atmosphere it could be a good, more affordable way.

You make a valid point, but if I lived near, for example, Somerset. I would make it a point to watch one of the Yankees' promising prospects.

The Orioles are for sure dirt-cheap. They run promotions where you can get in for four bucks. When I was in Pittsburgh for a minute the Pirates were a crazy bargain too.

If the MTA ever gets its shit together I'll be able to get there and back on the Light Rail, too.

Good insight! That being said, the only baseball stadiums I've been to are the 2 in NY, Philly, and San Diego so don't have the national insight.

The Yankees do Pinstripe passes where you get a beer and a seat for X dollars which tends to be a good deal

As someone who doesn't really follow sports much anymore, and doesn't really care much about specific teams, I much prefer going to Minor League games.

Much cheaper, parking is easy, nowhere near as crowded, much more relaxed, and the baseball is practically indistinguishable to me from Major League.

stomczyk09 · 3 years ago

I would agree with this. The environment of a baseball game at a minor league is comparable to a major league team as far as setting and atmosphere.

Minor league games are an amazing steal; especially if you have a local team you can follow - you get up close and personal, and often the players stick around for autographs and fun.

I have quite fond memories of the Everett Aquasox; I wish we had a minor league team closer to where I am now. And sometimes you even get to see the stars when they're on injury rehab!

stomczyk09 · 3 years ago

Huge call out on the stars in Rehab Assignment. AAA teams you'll see some players like that or draft picks that are going to be in the starting lineup soon!

I mainly want to address the baseball portion, as I do agree with the theme park prices getting to crazy high levels, and big expenses:

-While it is frustrating that the prices are rising, there are ways around this. The type of game is an important factor to include. Obviously rivalries are going to be expensive, but if you go to maybe a Wednesday night when your team plays someone out of market, you can grab same day tickets for a deal on broker sites(although fees are annoying). I believe there are ways to be creative about this, and doesn't necessarily have to break the bank(I paid 6 dollars to see the yankees play the marlins like 3 years ago as an example).

-The food portion I do agree with, as that is getting out of control. I tend to eat before I go and stick to waters(maybe a beer or 2) to not spend too much while there.

-Given the subway system in New York, I've never had to park a car to get to a game and pay round trip 5 bucks to get to the game, so I'm uneducated on this one. I am sure this is probably the hardest cost to avoid in most cities.

Last thing I will say, as I know my prior thoughts don't necessarily address the obvious problem of major league games becoming out of reach for groups/families.

When I was a kid, one of my favorite games I've ever been to was a Minor League game in Newark, NJ. For a low price, you can get GREAT seats and the same environment of a baseball game. From what I remember, it was a fantastic family environment, that tends to offer cheaper amenities(i.e food, drinks, etc.) that still provides a great ballgame environment. Know this is not the same as seeing your favorite big league team play, but still a great option!

Would love to hear what people think

stomczyk09 · 3 years ago

What a great idea for people that don't have too much time! I personally try to stick with the same topic every night(something on the theme of "what went well" or "what are you grateful for"). However, this is a great way to speed things up and start putting ideas/thoughts on paper. Also keeping it locally stored is great from a privacy standpoint.

My only question: is there an "open" feature that makes the prompt optional for folks who maybe have something more pressing to journal about than something that the prompt may suggest that day?

stomczyk09 · 3 years ago

Success is something that tends to be propogated when being communicated to the masses, but success is such a general word. Success isn't a one size fits all. It can be as simple as passing a test in school, graduating said school, paying off your mortgage/debt.

Success comes in all shapes and sizes.
