Pirates Refuse To Be Called Champions in World Series Ticket Hustle
Pittsburgh fans flood the Pirates with requests for world series tickets as the club insists on mathematical clinching before selling any seats. Secretary treasurer Sam Dreyfuss says no orders will be honored until the Pirates are guaranteed champions. Management plans for potential large crowds at Forbes Field and contemplates temporary seating if they win the pennant. Local pundits view the ticket push as either superstition or shrewd business ahead of a possible fall classic. The Pirates ride a slim lead over the Giants as debate over post season plans grows, with Sunday baseball prohibitions complicating potential arrangements.
