Hey everyone,
A bunch of you wrote requesting tickets to Rounds 2 and 3 of the Vegas HR
Derby, featuring Jose. At the time, all I had were tickets to Round 1...
Well, I made some calls and was able to get my hands on a bunch of tickets
to Rounds 2 and 3. In order to be able to buy them though, I had to buy a
LOT more tickets to Round 1. I'm sure I have enough for everyone now, so
please let me know ASAP what tickets you would like, if any.
I'll copy the last email I sent out with all the details below, in case you
missed it. The only difference is that I now have tickets to all 3 rounds.
Each ticket costs $25. This is more than face value, but a lot less than
you could buy them for individually, since they are only for sale to people
who purchase a season ticket plan from the Stars. I'm afraid I'm going to
have a bunch of tickets left over, and I'm just hoping to break even. You
can either send me a check or money order in the mail, or pay me online
through Paypal (go to
https://secure.paypal.com/refer/pal=mark@canseconet.com to sign up and they
will credit your account with $10).
The tickets themselves have not been printed yet, but they assured me I
will have them next week. This will leave me enough time to get them to
you, assuming I have received your payment when the tickets show up.
If there is any chance you can join me in Vegas that weekend (2/12), I
really hope you decide to. It's going to be a lot of fun, and if all us
Canseco fans band together, Jose will surely be the most popular player
there! I'm taking my Canseconet.com sign and my bullseye, so hopefully we
can get some tv time!
Again, if you'd like to join me and a bunch of other Cansecoites in Vegas,
please email me your ticket requests ASAP and I will put them aside for you.
See you soon, hopefully!
Mark

Here's a portion of the last email I sent with all the details about the
derby:
...The 12 best sluggers in the majors will be in the tournament, including
Jose! It will be taped by ESPN and aired in multiple segments throughout
the baseball season. It sounds really cool - they will be doing in depth
features on each of the players in between showing the tournament action.
Here's how the derby will work:
On Saturday (2/12) morning, the following players will tee off and the top
four will advance to Round 2: Chipper Jones, JOSE CANSECO, Mike Piazza,
Frank Thomas, Shawn Green, Barry Bonds, Greg Vaughn, and Nomar Garciaparra.
Personally, I like Jose's chances of advancing a lot. This is his chance
to show the world what he could have done last summer in Fenway if he
wasn't too busy having back surgery.
Saturday afternoon, Round 2 will feature the best four sluggers from Round
1 plus Mark McGwire, Sammy Sosa, Ken Griffey Jr., and Rafael Palmeiro. I
know, Jose doesn't get a bye like those guys, but that's ok - this will
just give Jose more tv time! The four players who go deep the most in
Round 2 will advance to the third and final round.
On Sunday afternoon, those four guys will battle it out until Jose is
eventually crowned the ultimate home run king!
