Imagine that you're a Dodgers season-ticket holder and there's a knock
at the door. You answer, and Russell Martin or Andre Ethier is
standing there to hand over next year's tickets.

That's not a far-fetched notion for some season-ticket holders of the
NHL's Pittsburgh Penguins, who reached the Stanley Cup finals last
season but lost to the Detroit Red Wings.

Several Penguins players, led by star center Sidney Crosby, and Coach
Michel Therrien this week made just such a delivery -- unannounced --
to 35 randomly selected ticket-holders around the Pittsburgh area.

"It's a pretty unique thing we do," Crosby said. "I think it's nice we
do it."
