Fan Plan For Nats Is Letter Perfect

Letters from team management can mean bad news for Major League Baseball fans.
Pittsburgh included some good news last month in its correspondence, instructing season-ticket holders on how to buy tickets for what would be the Pirates’ first postseason games since 1992. But the missive also mentioned, by the way, a price increase for 2013 tickets.
The Pirates need another 10 wins to assure their first winning season in two decades and they were 11/2 games out of a wild card berth entering Thursday, but at least their fans have reason to cheer.
They could be in Houston, supporting the majors’ worst team by far, which might be on the verge of signing 50-year-old Roger Clemens to pitch in a game/delay his Hall of Fame eligibility.
The Astros are so horrid (91/2 games behind the next-to-worst Chicago Cubs), Houston general manager Jeff Luhnow was led to write a long letter to season-ticket holders last month, outlining the team’s plan to return to respectability.
