Passage 2 Don Bruns of Lima, Ohio, and his 11- year-old son, Aaron, love baseball, and the Cincinnati Reds in particular. For, Aaron’s birthday last October, his dad decided to drive him to Cincinnati more than two hours away, for the first game of the World Series. They had no tickets but hoped to buy a pair from scalpers. After arriving at Riverfront Stadium, the Brunses walked the streets for two hours. Aaron wearing a Reds cap, his father carrying a sign that said "We Need 2 Tickets." "There were a lot of scalpers," the father said." But the cheapest ticket was $1075 a piece. I couldn’t afford that." And Aaron understood. Then the boy and his father were approached by Michael Teicher, who worked for a company that produces baseball highlight show for TV. Teicher pulled out a pair of tickets and handed them to Bruns. "How much do you want" Bruns asked. "No charge," said Teicher, "Enjoy the game." When asked later, Teicher explained: "I was working for a man named Joe Podesta who hadn’t missed a World Series in 16 years. (78)But he’d had a mild heart attack in September and couldn’t make it this time. So he told me to give the two tickets away. The only ground rule he set was to give the tickets to people I thought would be thrilled." Teieher walked around town for some time before seeing Don and Aaron Bruns. "A lot of people looked like they might just take the tickets and sell them," Teicher said, "Then I saw this guy and his son, a nice - looking skinny kid with glasses, and he seemed very disappointed. (79) They reminded me of my dad and me when I was a kid. I would have died to go to a World Series game with my father. But I never did."
