A Lifetime of Fandom
Akida, a 53-year-old Dodgers fan, has been a devotee since the days of Kirk Gibson and Tommy Lasorda. His enthusiasm is evident as he exclaims, “Kirk Gibson! I’m Tommy Lasorda, baby!” When asked about the cost of his ticket, Akida reveals that he paid $900, which he believes is a worthwhile investment for the experience of a lifetime.
Akida’s son, Aiden, is also a Dodgers fan and was thrilled to be attending his second or third game. He expressed his gratitude to his family for bringing him to the World Series, stating, “I want to thank them.” The sentiment is met with a request for a crying emoji from Akida, showcasing the emotional bond between the father-son duo and their love for the team.
The Cost of Devotion
The cost of attending a World Series game can be steep, with tickets ranging from hundreds to thousands of dollars. Akida’s $900 ticket is a significant expense, but for him, it’s a price he’s willing to pay for the experience. As he puts it, “If you have it, it’s worth it. If you don’t have it, it’s not worth it — you can watch it on TV.” For die-hard fans like Akida and Aiden, the opportunity to witness their team in the World Series is a once-in-a-lifetime experience that justifies the cost.
