When ticket prices are so high you lose the real fans and cater mostly to corporations who use it as a tax write off or a way to entertain clients, which completely changes the atmosphere.

But thanks for the economics lesson, Mike!

[Dan Wood @RealDanWood]

It’s a great day to be a Cowboy!

[LHS-Baseball @PokesBaseball]

Great win for Pokes!

[Dan Wood @RealDanWood]

Never like to see anyone lose a job, and at least Borg still has a job in the organization, but this had to be done.

[SFGiants @SFGiants]

The #SFGiants announced today that they have reassigned third base coach Hector Borg to a new role within their player development staff. Ron Wotus will fill the third base coaching role on an interim basis until the organization identifies a permanent replacement.

[Dan Wood @RealDanWood]

Proud of you, @martinamcbride! Thank you!

[Dan Wood @RealDanWood]

Does anyone realize that making Cy Young and/or MVP arguments when the season is one-third complete is an absolute joke?

[MLB Network @MLBNetwork]

If the season ended today, @JonHeyman would have Cristopher Sánchez and Cam Schlittler as the Cy Young Award winners 💪

Agree or disagree?

[Dan Wood @RealDanWood]

Congrats, @jerrymcd! Hell of a run! We’ll always have that night at Laverne’s Lakeside Tavern or whatever it was called when we were in Indiana to cover Stanford-Notre Dame.

[Jerry McDonald @Jerrymcd]

For first time in 45 years a newspaper schedule doesn't have my name on it as of June 1. My call. The profession enabled me to meet my wife and have a family. Everything else pales in comparison, but it was a pretty cool way to make a living . . . thanks for reading . . .

[Dan Wood @RealDanWood]

Wonderful, wonderful man, Bill Davidge. So sorry to hear this.

[Aaron Portzline @Aportzline]

A dreaded day for #CBJ. One of the game’s true gentlemen, and the Columbus Blue Jackets’ most ardent supporter, Bill Davidge passed away on Tuesday.
Much love and enduring peace to his beautiful family.
RIP, Dapper. “You better believe it.”

[Dan Wood @RealDanWood]

So happy about this. @bcraw35 is perhaps my all-time favorite athlete to watch. The part about seeing him everyday rings so true. An absolute joy to watch him play shortstop.

[Susan Slusser @susanslusser]

Brandon Crawford is a Bay Area icon. Now he’s joining its greatest athletes in Hall of Fame - why he's the ideal member of the local sports Hall, with thoughts from Crawford, Ron Wotus, Crawford's HS football coach and one of his pals: https://t.co/wpml65wbF3 via @sfchronicle

Covered a few things, including Stanford women’s hoops, with Dwight over the years. A truly wonderful man. Unlike so many sportswriters, he had absolutely zero ego. #RIP

[Susan Slusser @susanslusser]

Former Chronicle sportswriter Dwight Chapin, who covered Olympic tragedy in Munich, dies at 87 https://t.co/1ugUvIacNy via @sfchronicle

[Dan Wood @RealDanWood]

Decided to check in on the Celtics and 76ers. Both teams in dark uniforms. Never mind. Figure it out @NBA!

[Dan Wood @RealDanWood]

For longtime #SFGiants fans, does Luis Arraez’ “personality” in the batter’s box remind anyone else of Tito Fuentes?

[Dan Wood @RealDanWood]

Sorry, F.P. Will never get past Dodgers bias. Not in this or any other lifetime.

[F.P. Santangelo Sr @FightinHydrant]

Orel Hershiser joined the show today and he was fabulous! If you can get past your Dodgers biased, there’s some incredible stuff on here! He gives his thoughts on Landon Roupp. Compares two Italian mangers, Lasorda and Vitello. Tremendous insight on Ohtani and his routine and work ethic. The best part I thought was taking us all inside the Dodgers culture and the lengths they go to be great. Easily, my fave show yet

That’s a longer drive than you think. I speak from experience.

[Shi Davidi @ShiDavidi]

The Blue Jays bused from Phoenix to Anaheim yesterday because their plane had mechanical issues.

Players voted to bus rather than wait for another plane to arrive, but manager John Schneider said he was still "reprimanded by Max (Scherzer) for electing to travel that way," receiving a formal Kangaroo Court summons.

"We're going to go to trial," said Schneider.

[Dan Wood @RealDanWood]

This is well worth a read. I’ll never forget hearing the news of Thurman Munson’s death. Devastating.

[Short Stop Media @ShortStopMedia]

He was the Captain of the New York Yankees.

At the peak of his career…
everything was over in an instant.

Most people remember how it ended.

Almost no one remembers just how dominant he really became.

👉 Read the story.

[Dan Wood @RealDanWood]

Congrats, guys! Knock ‘em dead!

[Matteo Lortie @Matteo_lortie18]

I am excited to announce that I will be continuing my football career @UWOFootball with my offensive core @harper_ct and @luke_mederos28 ! Looking forward to competing at the highest level and learning from the best @PeteyBananas. Thank you for believing in me, I'm ready to get to work! Appreciate my family and coaches for always supporting me in this journey.

Hart Trophy?

[Frank Seravalli @frank_seravalli]

19-year-old Macklin Celebrini set the #sjsharks franchise record for most points in a single season, passing Joe Thornton with his 115th point. #TheFutureIsTeal

[Dan Wood @RealDanWood]

Extremely sorry to learn this news. Just a wonderful, wonderful man.

[Anaheim Ducks @AnaheimDucks]

We are saddened to announce the loss of Honda Center’s beloved Public Safety Officer, Paulo Kome. Paulo lived and breathed his family, friends, Ducks hockey and the many colleagues, guests and patrons with whom he interacted during his nearly 25 years at Honda Center. We offer love, support and prayers to his family and all who knew him.

[Dan Wood @RealDanWood]

Congrats, Prongs!

[Chris Pronger @chrispronger]

No buildup needed.

EARNED is out now.

Go get it.

[Marcus Thompson II @ThompsonScribe]

Meet one of my favorite students: Kiarra (aka Kiwi)

As kind as she is talented. She was paralyzed as a passenger in a car accident. But the life-altering trauma didn’t take her spirit.

Please show her some love. I’ll share your replies with her.

Just when I thought there was no way I could gain more respect for Steve Kerr.

[Mitch Bannon @MitchBannon]

When John Schneider arrived back at his #BlueJays office last week, he found a letter sitting on his desk. It waited for him all winter.

It came from 9x NBA Champion Steve Kerr.

Unlocked & free to read, here's the story of that letter: https://t.co/ULsSfxtmEx
