Tigers Open Spring Training Batting Practice Early For Added $5 Charge

The Tigers' Spring Training game yesterday against the Blue Jays was the first in which the team "opened the ballpark earlier for anyone wanting to watch an extra hour of batting practice for $5 -- with the cost being added to the price of their ticket." Fans paying the price were "allowed on the left-field berm at Marchant Stadium -- and were permitted to keep any fly ball over the wall they could catch or chase down." The money charged "goes to the cost of opening the ballpark early." More than 700 fans "spent $5 for the extra hour -- and 19 balls were hit over the wall" (DETROIT NEWS, 2/24).
