When you talk about reselling a ticket for more than face value (plus a nominal carrying charge), there are legal issues involved. There are issues regarding licensing to broker tickets, sales tax may also come into play, and then there is the liability involved in providing a public forum for this activity to take place. Perhaps one of our resident legal experts could shed some light on these and any other issues that might be involved ?

I think that was more of an example why the 9th isn't always the most important inning. I would guess it's roughly normally distributed between all 9 lineup possibilities. Probably, I've just seen 7-8-9 v 3-4-5 hitter situation argued many times on the board, as if it happened all the time. If this helps.... this is a distribution by batting order of 9th inning plate appearances..... 03/31 - 05/17 PA batting 1st 9 batting 2nd 11 batting 3rd 14 batting 4th 10 batting 5th 12 batting 6th 12 batting 7th 11 batting 8th 15 batting 9th 11 You're a great man Fred! Always coming through for us helpless bad-at-stats people. :D So, if I'm reading this right, a closer will typically face some combination that includes the 3rd hitter or 8th hitter the most. But, I'm not sure anything can be conclusively drawn from it. Yeah, but you've got a mean of 11.67 and a std dev of just under 2.... so, there's no real conclusion to draw. This is a pretty flat distribution. the only logical conclusion is that you're always gonna face the 3rd and 8th hitters in the 9th That is neither logical, nor accurate. Is my sarcasm detector broken or something ?? :scratch:

It don't matter, CT, 'cause we can win more. :wink:
