Somebody Out There Wants Royals Tickets
It’s been a tough year for the Royals. Not only can the team not sell any tickets, but when they give them away for a good cause the tickets end up getting stolen.
Someone recently took nearly 200 tickets from the Catholic Education Foundation office at 12615 Parallel Parkway in Kansas City, Kan. The tickets were to be used to reward inner-city students at Catholic schools.
People who show up with the stolen tickets will not be admitted into the ballpark, said Chris Darr, Royals’ director of ticket operations.
This has to be one of the dumbest crimes ever committed. In places like Kansas City you can get free baseball tickets anywhere. It’s almost like they have them in free newspaper vending machines next to the “Kansas City Fall Real Estate Guide.” Everybody who has a ticket is trying to give it away.
The only explanation I can think of is that some good catholic stole them because he didn’t want these kids in an environment where they could learn morally corrupting things—such as how to use a condom to prevent sexually transmitted disease.
The really bad news for the kids is that the tickets are being replaced. That means there’s no more hope of getting a better reward than going to a Royals game.
