New York governor warns of World Series ticket scams
New York Gov. Kathy Hochul is warning baseball fans to be alert for ticket scams around the World Series as the Fall Classic heads to the Bronx tonight.
The Yankees and Dodgers will play Game 3 of the Fall Classic at Yankee Stadium. Ticket prices have been sky-high, with most tickets on the secondary market going for more than $1,000 a piece.
“The match up is historic for baseball fans, but also an opportunity for scammers to take advantage of high demand,” the governor’s office said in a press release.
The state Division of Consumer Protection offered tips to fans to protect themselves.
Shohei Ohtani reportedly cleared for World Series Game 3 after shoulder scare
Los Angeles Dodgers superstar Shohei Ohtani is expected to play in the next World Series game against the New York Yankees on Monday night after injuring his shoulder in a slide Saturday.
Dodgers manager Dave Roberts told ESPN on Sunday that Ohtani was in good shape and “will be playing in game 3 tomorrow,” according to reporter Karl Ravech. The Japanese two-way player gave fans a fright when he tried to steal second base in the bottom of the seventh and slid hard onto the ground.
Ohtani didn’t make the steal and lay on his stomach while raising a hand to call for help after the play. He stayed down until the Los Angeles training staff came out to help him off the field.
