Cats special based
on A-Rod trade

    The Fort Worth Cats Baseball team will hold a $2.52 night at LaGrave Field Wednesday, May 12, when the Cats play Edinburg.
   The Cats decided to schedule the $2.52 night in light of former Texas Ranger Alex Rodriguez $252 million dollar deal and trade to the Yankees.
   The Cats will discount tickets to $2.52 for bullpen seating and general admission seats. The team will also sell certain items at the low price along with food and beverages.
   “I can think of 252 million reasons why we are doing it,” Cats general manager Monty Clegg said. “I think most fans know what A-Rod’s 10-year deal was worth. We are just having some fun with it.”
   The Cats have affordable pricing (with most seats $4-$10) for baseball fans in the Fort Worth-Dallas area.
   “We pride ourselves in offering affordable family entertainment,” Clegg said.
   When the CBS Evening News did a feature on the Cats at the end of the 2002 season, the reporter said it was like going to a county fair.
   ”That really describes the atmosphere at Cats games,” Clegg said. “We hope baseball fans in the area will come see what all the excitement is about at LaGrave Field.”
   The Cats will also give away $252 to the fan who comes up with the best Fort Worth Cats sign or poster that night. The May 12 game against Edinburg is scheduled to start at 7:05 p.m.
