Strasburg Fever Hitting D.C. As Ticket Prices Begin Their Climb
As minor-league batters are quickly finding out, Stephen Strasburg is the real deal. He’s dominated in his eight starts and has drawn record crowds along the way.
Many believe that Strasburg will make his first major league start on June 4th against the Reds. While still speculation at this point, prices for the June 4th game are already 16% above the season average.
Adam Kilgore of the Nationals Journal writes, “The Nationals have not made any indications about Strasburg’s debut date, but his [last minor league] start Saturday seemingly adds to the likelihood he will make his major league debut June 4 at Nationals Park.”
Between the way he’s pitching in the minors and how quickly that day is coming up on the calendar, an announcement could come any day now. When it does prices will surely move above $63. So with prices only slightly above the Nats season average, this may be your last chance to see the second coming and still have money left for a beer to celebrate it. But remember, buy at your own risk, because nothing is set in stone yet.

Official announcement is the 8th, according to ESPN. My guess is that the avg. is north of $100.

Hi, I believe your site may be having internet browser
compatibility issues. When I look at your blog in Safari,
it looks fine however when opening in Internet Explorer, it’s got some overlapping issues. I simply wanted to give you a quick heads up! Besides that, fantastic website!
He hasn’t done anything, his first two games were larlegy against AAA (and Cleveland had him in trouble several times) talent. Let the kid get seasoned who would you dump to get him in this year thus making the All Star game a bigger farce then it already is??? Remember Bo Belinsky find Strasberg a hottie to hang with.RA Dickey who saw that coming? I agree, he is more deserving, he has shut down some pretty decent lineups. The immortal looked pretty hitable last night.Let him learn his way around the league before giving him that level of respect. Right now he is just another flavor of the month for now he has plenty of all-star games to go to later in his career. Let us not appoint him god in spikes just yet.
