Mayor Street plans to try to make "at least a part" of today's Phillies game, says spokesman Joe Grace.
If so, he'll have no problem finding a seat. His office does, afterall, control who gets tickets to the mayor's stadium box.
But exactly who else is getting tickets to the 3 p.m. game is still unknown. "It's a work in progress," as Grace put it a few moments ago.
What Grace did confirm is who got tickets to the mayor's box for last Sunday's game, when the Phillies clinched the division title.
The answer: Not a single public official, or well-known pol.
"Not that there's anything wrong" with having city officials, campaign fundraisers, government contractors and others yak it up on the taxpayer dime, Grace reminds us.
That simply wasn't the case at Sunday's game.
No, the ticket holders in this case was a group organized by two North Philadelphia men "who were instrumental in encouraging the development of a sandlot baseball team."
We're still awaiting the names of those men, and the location of the field where the sandlot team plays.
