The first organized trip to the U.S.A officially
sponsored by Owners' League, the Italian Fantasy Baseball League,
will take place at the end of May, 1997.
Eight owners out of twelve will join up for a brief American tour,
which includes attending to eight baseball games in Minneapolis and Boston.
See the trip schedule in the table on the left.
Acceptable seats were booked by telephone
directly from the two teams' booking offices. As the best seats are obviously reserved for the season-ticket holders,
what we got is not exactly what we had hoped for, but there's always a chance to get better seats once there.
In The Metrodome, we got Section 225, quite high but behind the plate. In Fenway Park,
for the game with the White Sox, seats in Section 29 were booked, high between 3rd base and left field.
The best seats available for the first game with the Yankees were in Section 6 (far right side), and no
tickets were booked for the weekend games. Mr. Flower
is a Red Sox fan, and we hope he can get some good tips from his New England fellows. Quite likely,
some representatives from the Owners' League will camp outside Fenway Park overnight in order
to get the best possible tickets...
Expect frequent updatings about further details of the journey, as
tickets prices, the hotels, the list of participants, etc.
We'll let you know...
