Talk:2007 World Series

comment

I'm not specifically sure how to say this, but I believe this is the first time the World Series was originally scheduled to end in November (if it goes to game 7). The 2001 World Series only went into November because of the 9/11 attacks, which cancelled the season for a week. DandyDan2007 09:53, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

I looked at the article and over on the main 2007 World Series page it says that it's applicable only during game one, which I believe is false because it doesn't say that in the article. So if no one minds I'm going to edit that to remove any confusion that a person would have. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.34.65.203 (talk) 12:04, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

Ticket Controversy

I won't be shocked if this gets put back in... but the claim about the internet ticket sales being "unfair" to those who can't afford internet connections seemed a bit illogical (as well as being NPOV and unsourced): such individuals could not afford to buy the tickets at face value anyway. Also, a large percentage of the tickets would in any case go to season ticket holders, corporate sponsors, etc.: only a fraction of the tickets in any World Series ballpark are typically sold directly to the general public.

That's true, but in this case it was a significant fraction. Coors Field seats 50,000. Season ticket holders, sponsors, the participating teams, and Major League Baseball accounted for 30,000 seats for each game. The Rockies announced, before the tickets went on sale to the general public, that there were 20,000 seats generally available for each game. Fumblebruschi 16:41, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

I think the section should be removed or drastically pared down. It didn't get much attention in the press reports covering the world series. Shalom (Hello • Peace) 14:01, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

The controversy section is way too large compared to the rest of the article. Is it really that important? I think it should be 2 paragraphs max. Mahanga^Talk 17:40, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

I agree, any controversy about tickets is merely a footnote of this World Series and the current section is far too large. It should be summarized with a link to a source that discusses it in more detail. Chaz ^Beckett 16:42, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

A-Rod ending his contract during game 4

A-Rod ending his contract with the Yankee's during game four seemed like a slap in the face to Red Sox nation. If he has any thoughts that he might be welcome in Boston, the fans chanting behind the dugout, "Don't sign A-Rod!" should make him think again. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Erin21486 (talk • contribs) 21:07, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

quote

I think the ""Todd 'my goatee is better than youkilis' Helton" Jamey Carrol reading the starting lineup for the rockies during game three" quote is a good one. Can we clean it up and make it look right?

What is wrong with including this quote? Kingturtle (talk) 12:56, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

The quote was removed on the grounds of not having a source. The other quotes don't have sources, but they remain. I don't want to create an edit war, so I am using the talk page to express my support for this quote. Kingturtle (talk) 20:33, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

I added back the one I took out, but also added fact tags to all the quotes base on the above Jons63 (talk) 20:46, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

The controversy itself, on the Colorado side, stems from the fact that the Rockies organization originally intended to make sales available to the general public not only online, but at the box office and a few select retail outlets as well. It wasn't until a few days before sales were to commence that a last minute decision was made to change this policy. From a business standpoint, it was a good decision for the Rockies. Unfortunately, online sales only policies like this have a significantly larger probability of creating an unfair market for tickets - Not only in this instance, but for all future major sporting events in the days to come. There is simply no business practice oversight for ticket distributors such a Paciolan. These distributors are able to reach ticket availability agreements with brokers who automatically resell at an inflated price well above face value - An illegal practice im many municipalities. This section in the article has been drastically changed from the original edit and does not reflect the original authors objective stance.
