30 years of pain? No thanks

austin-fessler.bsky.social•91 days ago

You could buy what they are offering and more selling the card

forbesandshea.bsky.social•91 days ago

Nope. Card will be worth more than that and parking at PNC is not included at $20 a game.

I'd have much steeper demands or hold it for the team Skenes end up on in 2028.

DONT DO IT KID, SELL IT FOR CA$$$$$$$$$$H

nflmemewar.bsky.social•91 days ago

Tickets to a shitty team for 30 years or life changing money. 💰 I know which one I’d choose.

amdew1.bsky.social•91 days ago

See if Eddie Vedder will make an offer.

cartmen29.bsky.social•91 days ago

Is Uncle Joe getting a ticket too? cause he was a lowlife deadbeat

toototabon1.bsky.social•91 days ago

Is he a Dodger yet?

longstrangetrip.bsky.social•91 days ago

No. Give me the cash equivalent and home plate seats for one game a year of my choosing for 30 years

reggienaldo78.bsky.social•91 days ago

Upside home plate seats… downside watching the Pirates!

psu22nc22.bsky.social•91 days ago

Hell no, pirates suck. They will suck in 30 years also.

slowdog.bsky.social•91 days ago

So they're offering the kid about 50 bucks.

h4ximus.bsky.social•91 days ago

Uh, yeah. He can make a lot of the $1M back just selling the tix over time. The other experiences, plus swag and all...priceless

kmgreen6.bsky.social•91 days ago

Na id want the money. All the money

n-griff.bsky.social•91 days ago

Doesn’t the kid live in LA? Wtf are tickets to the Lirates gonna do for him? If the answer is he can sell them he should hold the card and sell it for even more than those are worth

joeysummers.bsky.social•91 days ago

What is a kid from California going to do with Pirates season tix? And sitting in a box with Libby Dunn? Cut the kid a million dollar check and call it a day!

theblouprint.bsky.social•91 days ago

I forgot the Pirates even exist

bobbadil.bsky.social•91 days ago

Watching the Pirates up close for 30 years sounds more like a threat than an offer

ggregg.bsky.social•91 days ago

Why do the Pirates even want it?

maryhear.bsky.social•91 days ago

tripps78.bsky.social•91 days ago

That’s the college fund. Don’t sell that.

mkegohlke.bsky.social•91 days ago

There’s a solid chance that the card will have more value than the combined years of those 30 years….

quinntessential77.bsky.social•91 days ago

Home plate seats for 30 years, full access to the home locker room and &2M.

slduffer.bsky.social•91 days ago

blacksnakemo.bsky.social•91 days ago

Why do the Pirates want it?

simdums.bsky.social•91 days ago

So they have something to remember him by once he becomes a free agent and clubs that spend money while trying to win take him away from their joke of an organization

jasonperone.bsky.social•91 days ago

I don't know why this one got me so bad 😂

raisin75.bsky.social•91 days ago

Fuck off and talk to me in five years and maybe pay for the kids college

rickeration.bsky.social•91 days ago

Amazing a child actually was able to buy a pack of cards, given they aren't readily available just anywhere at least in my area. Got to got to a specialist collectors shop to get a simple pack of cards. This should be the real story, just how unavailable packs of cards are.

jonp214.bsky.social•91 days ago

Season tickets to the Pirates isn’t a reward it’s a punishment

stlsparty.bsky.social•91 days ago

No. Don’t live in Pittsburgh, seats have no resale value, pirates won’t sell out a game for the next 30 years, and would anyone really trust Pittsburgh ownership to honor their word after Skenes signs with the Yankees in 5 years?
