The luckiest fan in America
Not strictly Tradeup-related, but this is the story of a Philly sports fan with a knack for getting in places for free — presumably, he’s standing just a few feet away from Chase Utley in the photo currently on offer (at right).
When the Phils played in the soggy World Series Game 5—up three games to one—Lionel sat along the leftfield foul pole in a seat he’d gotten for free. With the game tied 2-2 in the sixth, rain checks were issued for the rest of Game 5, to be played two nights later. That is when Lionel somehow sneaked into the swanky Diamond Club section behind the plate, where Tush has season tickets.
Ten minutes in, Tush is in his seat—five rows up, just off home plate—when his cell buzzes. It’s Lionel. "Look to your right," Lionel says. And there he is, sitting TWO rows back, DEAD CENTER behind home plate, grinning like Phil Mickelson.
More detail here from the Delco Times. I need to get this guy involved in ALS Tradeup.
