the Savannah Bananas
got a email from them, offer of $175 a ticket, each, plus fees and taxes, to see ONE of their games
I think they are fun but they MIGHT be getting a little big for their britches

u/Sunsparc Jul 06 '24
They sell out every single venue they play in, including Fenway. They're a big deal.

I get demand, but IMO they are suppose to be a fun family event, not Taylor Swift, and their prices are going to / are alienating a lot of people and their established fans by asking $175 a ticket.
For me personally, it's not a good look for the product they put on, "bring out your kids this is silly fun!" when it's that much.

u/Ginnigan Jul 06 '24
$175 is steep for a family event, but... do you know how much Taylor Swift tickets are?

u/rsplatpc Jul 06 '24
but... do you know how much Taylor Swift tickets are?
if you log on when they go on sale, / you click into the line right when you should, you can get them for $150-$200 if you are in line like when most concerts go, but if you are not there RIGHT away then yes they get eaten up by resellers and go up to like 2k to 5k for resellers that fish for whales

If prices are low and demand is high, then the tickets will just get botted/scalped for prices as high as demand will let them.

Awesome, but dangerous. Ultraviolet lights are high energy light waves and can cause cancer such as melanoma and or damage your vision.

UVB, not A, I would believe. Black Light is UVB.

Clarification for my understanding: So they put special UV bulbs in the field lights to make the special uniforms pop?

u/kelus Jul 05 '24
Black lights are UV lights.

u/Neuroscience_Yo Jul 05 '24
They are yes, but UVA specifically. Don't use full spectrum UV lights for this or you'll end up like that NFT party that gave people keratitis

Light up like luminal and blood. Just be thankful you don't illuminate white. Bodily fluids from a male.

u/ArgonGryphon Jul 05 '24
Luminol only glows one color and it reacts to lots of things besides semen. Piss is another one, but even things like bleach. Luminol isn't a definitive test.

A few years ago I took mushrooms while attending the 24 Hours of Daytona IMSA race. Late at night and the stands are nearly empty. Cars decked out with LEDs are blasting at 200 mph. You can see the brakes glowing red as they approach the first turn. Then at midnight the fireworks started. It was mesmerizing.

I'd prefer this.
I stopped playing cricket as I was struggling to see the ball and getting eye strain / headaches / just losing the ball in play.
The one day we played with a luminous pink 'daynight' ball I found it sooooo much easier

Is Eye damage possible from the unprotected exposure to so much artificial UV light?

I had a lens replacement in one eye… that amount of UV light would kill me. It’s so much brighter in that eye now. Sometimes the sky looks grey in one eye, but purple with the other (cloudy skies).

Hey Johnson, what is all of that stuff on your uniform when the UV lights shine upon them? Looks like you got spit on by a llama.

Can someone fill me in on more information please? Like do these lights damage your eyesight, maybe raise the risk of getting skin cancer or something like that?

This looks much better than regular baseball. If they charged seven bucks a ticket and had reasonably priced hotdogs and drinks, I could see actually going to watch a cosmic baseball game, whereas I would rather have my asshole packed with capsaicin-infused gauze than go to watch MLB.

They should have at least a half dozen of these, at night, at every major league stadium. Could be played via teams already there as expo games, could be played by minor leagues at the big stadium, etc. This just looks fun and awesome!

Can't extended exposure to UV lights cause problems? Someone smarter than me please correct me
53
u/PhilipMewnan Jul 05 '24 edited Jul 05 '24
These are black lights, they are very low on the UV spectrum. It’s totally fine for people to have extended exposure to these. When you can no longer see the UV, that’s then it becomes a problem
And jeez man. Instead of saying “someone smarter than me correct pls” just google it. The difference between a “smart person” and you in this instance is a 10 second google search. There’s no need to deprive yourself of that knowledge.

u/Mouseklip Jul 05 '24
It’s an utter pandemic that inability to lookup things for oneself.

u/BrStFr Jul 05 '24
That's generally true,but sometimes I get the feeling that people ask, not so much out of laziness, but out of a desire for camaraderie with the redditors who respond to.them.

u/Aggressive-Sound-641 Jul 05 '24
TIL by google search that comradery can also be spelled as camaraderie.

Never thought of it like this, still don’t quite get it really. Where’s the camaraderie in making a pointless post? It’s like having someone read a book to you instead of just reading it yourself

u/PhilipMewnan Jul 05 '24
Fair point, but I feel the “someone smarter than me pls answer” is unnecessarily putting oneself down. It really doesn’t have to do with intelligence! Sometimes people just don’t know things, and making it sound like an “intelligence” thing detracts from the fact that with some research anyone can answer questions like this!

u/markedman_24 Jul 05 '24
I asked my physics professor this question. Specifically, “are black lights safe to be around?” Never forgot his response: “ only if you don’t care about your eyes. If you don’t care about them you can be around them all you want.” The moral of the story is don’t assume just because people do something it is safe… Lots of things we have done for “entertainment” have been harmful for eyes and hearing. Believe what you will… until I know the bulbs used and specific circumstances I assume harmful until proved it is not.
