Isles have a sweet cable deal; baseball tix skyrocket

weber.jpgAs promised, I did watch the 1994 PBA Greater Detroit Open on ESPN Classic Saturday.

The most interesting thing about it: Some of the hair and clothing styles of the female fans in the background bore a scary resemblance to the 1980s, which means 1994 was longer ago than I imagined, which means . . . I'm really, really old.

In today's newspaper column, which for now appears in two pieces on the Web site, I wrote more about the price rises in Yankees tickets, as well as a story about the TV rights deal for which we have to thank the existence of Our Islanders.

Go Dolphins.

Good thing the Islanders have a good TV deal because they can't survive on their crowds. I was at the Wednesday game against Buffalo and if there were 10,000+ people as they said, then Pavel Checkov is the Czar of all the Russias.. Kind of a shame since the team is decent and it is the only "Major" sports team on Long Island.
