Last week, before Bryan Price got the lovely parting gifts and his team was a decent 3-12 (relatively speaking), the Reds issued a press release announcing a deal on tickets. Starting in May for the rest of the season, fans could buy a “Top 6’’ ballpark pass. A mere $29.99 a month would get you into as many Reds games as were on their schedule.
The team didn’t intend the offer to be ironic. Even if W.C. Fields would have loved it. First prize: A week of Reds tickets. Second prize: A season of Reds tickets.
Price’s firing has opened all kinds of wounds, hurts that were barely stitched to begin with.
