Today’s show is brought to you by Section336.com/Survey Seriously, go answer a couple quick questions and help us out.
Today on the show, we talk season tickets, FanFest from not only our perspective but also what is it like to go as a 12-year-old boy, ZIPs projections, and a new segment that only the Zany Bert Rode could have came up with.
Did you notice anything special? It is that time of the year 100% baseball talk, no super bowl talk, no deflate gate, just Baltimore Orioles and those things related. Bring on the Spring!
Leading Off
Josh finally met Carlos, his Orioles Ticket rep, at FanFest. Carlos gave him the lowdown on the Birds’ season ticket/Opening Day/playoff game tickets conundrum. Listen up and find out why Josh was convinced to upgrade from the 13 to the 29-game plan.
DRAMA! Will Section 336 have to be renamed Section 334?!
FanFest
Josh was the only show member to go to FanFest. How’d he like it? Did FanFest compare to the awesome experience he had at Kimpton‘s Hotel Monaco?
Josh gives Jim Hunter credit for diffusing the tension before Dan Duquette took the stage. Buck and Brady did some good schtick about the Canada rumors.
Josh is also now all aboard the Bud Norris Love Train with Bert, after seeing how great he was Saturday. He has some more good stories from FanFest, so be sure to listen.
