Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart In 1959 I went to my first Major League Baseball Game. The Brooklyn Dodgers had moved to Los Angeles from Brooklyn in 1958. I was 13 years old, and my brother was 11. This was one of the greatest days in my life. The tickets were a gift, and cost $1.50 each. The game was played at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum; Dodger Stadium was under construction.

Adding up all expenses beginning with Air Force One at $200,000 per hour, the cost of each trip to his millionaire’s playpen is $3,383,250. Your Nazi president is the most expensive in history.
