We have a sidestreet that has 12 free spaces. If you beat the 20 or so people who know about them there. Its about a 3 city-block walk to the ballpark and well worth the $15-20 savings.

Years ago, when we first started working with them, they were invited to a team lunch. It was at a lovely steakhouse in town. Which is kind of a bad choice for vegetarians. Suffice it to say that folks at my company learned an important lesson that day. At least a lightbulb went off when we saw several people having french fries as an entree. I hope that MLK would be encouraged, in spite of the need for more work on race relations. I think sports can be a nice equalizer. It's basically a meritocracy. I grew up listening to sports on the radio a lot. I grew up on a farm, so I wasn't inside in front of the TV a lot. As a result, many times I was cheering for a name and a set of stats, without knowing the race/ethnicity of the player. I'd like to think that a lot of sports fans have a similar approach. You want Albert Pujols on your team, because he can kill the ball. You want Pedro Martinez (in his prime) on your team, because he can flat-out dominate.
