Sometime later this year you’ll be hearing about how to go about buying a piece of the Spectrum. Meanwhile, the land grab has started in New York, where the Yankees and Steiner Sports already have put some stuff on sale. My favorite? The five glass 31-by-60-inch shower stall door from the clubhouse that have Yankee logos affixed on them. A story in the New York Daily News says they are going for 2 grand apiece.

Meanwhile, the Yankees and the city of New York still are wrestling over who owns what and whose pockets the money ultimately will fill. That’s not a problem with the Mets, who said last month they will donate 30 percent of the proceeds from memorabilia sales to charity. Not sure if that includes the crying towels that will be left around the locker room if this team blows another opportunity to make the playoffs.

Meanwhile, many of you have complained about having to pay full price for NBA, NHL and NFL exhibition games. So the National Hockey League’s Toronto Maple Leafs swung the doors wide open last night and allowed folks into the Air Canada Centre for free. It was a promotion called the Coca-Cola Zero Fans First Game, but observers figure only about 80 percent of the seats wound up getting filled. Some still saw the idea as a great way to promote the team; others said it just shows how people tend to see less value in something that’s given away and ignore it. What was plain to all is that there’s always a few people that decide to get greedy; according to Dave Feschuk of the Toronto Star, one scalper was trying to sell his free tickets for $300. There’s always a few.
