ALS Tradeup // The luckiest fan in America

The luckiest fan in America
2009 January 30 by edfoley

Not strictly Tradeup-related, but this is the story of a Philly sports fan with a knack for getting in places for free - presumably, he's standing just a few feet away from Chase Utley in the photo currently on offer (at right).

When the Phils played in the soggy World Series Game 5-up three games to one-Lionel sat along the leftfield foul pole in a seat he'd gotten for free. With the game tied 2-2 in the sixth, rain checks were issued for the rest of Game 5, to be played two nights later. That is when Lionel somehow sneaked into the swanky Diamond Club section behind the plate, where Tush has season tickets.

Ten minutes in, Tush is in his seat-five rows up, just off home plate-when his cell buzzes. It's Lionel. "Look to your right," Lionel says. And there he is, sitting TWO rows back, DEAD CENTER behind home plate, grinning like Phil Mickelson.

More detail here from the Delco Times. I need to get this guy involved in ALS Tradeup.

What's going on?
I'm Ed Foley. Offer me something good for whatever's in the box above. I'll turn around and trade your thing for some bigger and better thing -- and I'll keep on trading up until July 2009. Whatever I have then is auctioned off, with 100% of the proceeds going to the Greater Philadelphia Chapter of the ALS Association -- and hopefully get me invited to throw out the first pitch at a Phillies game in 2009.
Trade history so far...
