"In The Twilight, It Was A Vision Of Power."

That quote is from Upton Sinclair.

The photo shows pre-game twilight at Dodger Stadium, which is still one of the best shows in town. You don't even need to enhance your performance to enjoy it.

From Hector Tobar in the L.A. Times:

The stars come and go. They bleed Dodger Blue one year, and another color the next. They send home runs over the fence and win a space in our hearts -- and then they do something dumb like fail a drug test.
Manny Ramirez was earning $25 million this year until his suspension last week. But the Dodgers don't need to pay that money to keep this fan. What I go to Dodger Stadium to see doesn't cost owner Frank McCourt a penny.
I go to Dodger Stadium for the twilight.
Over the years, the Dodgers have delighted me, but they've disappointed me many times more. The twilight, however, rarely fails to make the trek up and down the hills of the old Chavez Ravine worthwhile. 
It's a show of natural beauty played out against the hills of Elysian Park and the downtown skyline -- and it's best seen from some of the stadium's cheapest seats.

The rest is here.

Sell Outs.

From the AP, via ESPN:

Two grand? Fuhgetaboutit.

If you want to buy a front-row seat at the new Yankee Stadium for an individual game, the list price of a ticket is $2,625.

Individual game sales for the first season of the $1.5 billion ballpark start Tuesday, and the Legends Seats that ring the infield start at $525 a game, according to the team's Web site. Those seats cost $500-$2,500 as part of full season tickets, and they include food and soft drinks.

Other field level seats cost $95, $150, $275, $300, $350 and $375. Then comes the Delta Sky360 Suite, where tickets are $375-$800, and main level tickets, which are priced at $60, $80, $95 and $150.

On the top deck, seats in the Jim Beam Suite go for $130-$150. Terrace seats are $50, $75 and $85, and grandstand tickets cost $23 and $30. Full view bleachers are $14.

Meanwhile, the top ticket at Dodger Stadium is $500.00. Baseline seats range from $65.00 to $285.00. The Left Field Pavilion seats--where I was sitting in 1988 when Kirk Gibson hit that classic World Series home run off the A's Dennis Eckersley--are $11.00, and Top Deck seats are $9.00.

A 25-ounce Guinness and various games on several TVs in the sunshine at Naja's is $7.00 plus tip, but they don't sell peanuts or Cracker Jack.
