As you wait for that severance paycheck to get deposited into your overdrawn bank account, here’s some good news.  Sensing that the typical baseball fan will be less solvent this year than in years past, the Boston Red Sox have elected to not raise ticket prices in 2009, the first price freeze in 14 years.  If you needed an indicator to tell you that this country is in a full blown recession, there you have it.  The Red Sox have a strict policy where they only freeze prices in the following scenarios:

1. A nuclear conflict of some sort, resulting in a “Mad Max” like scenario where New England becomes giant desert ruled by outlaw motorcycle gangs.
2. The giant Tesla ball in the Museum of Science goes haywire and zaps the dinosaur fossils, causing them to come alive and rampage through the city.
3. Everyone is poor and miserable. (I.e. a recession)

So, while you wait for that fun phone call from your bankruptcy attorney, take comfort in the fact that a day at Fenway Park will only cost you $127.75, lukewarm Bud Lights and e-coli dogs included!  Just like last year!
