Kadath, you are totally barking up[ the wrong tree if you are saying the Red Sox can do things other teams can't just because they always sell out. First they have the smallest park in the majors by far, despite some unbelievably creative additions, and second, they are chasing the INDIANS home sellout streak of something over 400 games. They have the highest ticket prices in the majors because they have 1/3 less capacity than other parks. Is there a difference between small and large market teams, of course, but it generally doesn't show up in the starting nine or top 4 pitchers as much as in the depth if someone gets hurt, or in the ability to scout places others can't. And stop comparing the Spankees and their fans with the Red Sox, it makes you look jealous; it has less to do with actual dollars spent than organizational philosophy.
