this is kinda off the subject, but related.
For years I have went to StLouis Cardinal Games. After each game as I walked to the car ramp, there is an old guy with no legs that sits in a wheelchair taking handouts. I always felt sorry for the guy and gave him a buck.
Then I figured up how much he probably made in a years time just by sitting outside the ballgame for an hour each night.
Cardinals play 81 home games
Approx. 40,000 fans at each game
If only half walk by him on the way out that is still 20,000 fans walking by him
If 1 in 10 give him a dollar that is $2,000 bucks a night
2000 x 81 games = $162,000 Tax Free
