I have to say I had a really great time at AT&T park for what will probably be my last game [View all]

I was told by the manager in the Giants Dugout store that next year the Giants are going ticketless. If you wish to see a game, you either have to print out your own ticket on a printer or will need to own a smart phone. I can't afford either a printer or a smart phone, therefore the great days of baseball will end for me, and for others like me, in my income bracket.
