The Incredible Mr. Baer

From his seat above the visiting Giants dugout, Larry Baer signaled Felipe Alou to pull Barry Bonds in the 9th Inning today in Oakland, with the Giants leading 6-0. Thanks to Ticketmaster this a.m., I was able to get a $38 seat in Oakland and was sitting 5 rows behind Baer, when he made the slashing throat gesture to the 71 year old Alou.

Fans at the ballyard, myself included, were sorely disappointed to miss the slugger's last AB, but Mr. Baer figured it was worth at least $1M more in tix and concessions tomorrow at home vs. St. Louis.

Check out what those seats are going for on ebay and stubhub now--yowza!

If you don't have tix already...that's a shame.
