Across the AJC’s newsroom a bit, our Sports News Now blogger has posted this unusual Groupon:
For $30,000, you can throw out the first pitch at the Chicago Cubs’ Aug. 30 home day game against the Milwaukee Brewers.
The experience includes a personal suite for you and 13 friends, a tour of Wrigley Field, a full Cubs uniform and your very own press conference.
Forget the hapless Cubbies and their legacy for being allergic to baseball’s big prize. How much would you pay to throw out the first pitch — in full Atlanta Bravos uniform — at The Ted?
Bonus question: Who would you want as your catcher?

I’d say maybe $2000 or so… (that also includes hitting up the other guests of the suite to pay their way. lol)
