As Hotel Managers scan their reservations with glee, and souvenir shops re-stock the shelves of their retail outlets as quickly as the precious pricey keepsakes fly out the door, a posse of city officials around the country are sitting up and taking notice.
If any self-respecting city or town was clueless about the financial windfalls involved - once a coveted slot in a World Series play-off had been snared - this week was a rude wake-up call.
Just betcha there won't be any resistance or fall-out in the future when local politicians or savvy land developers make a costly bid for a sports team or a snazzy state-of-the-art stadium - with the ultimate aim of courting great athletes and the riches they are capable of rustling up.
Of course, the influences are far more reaching than that.
Today, for instance, the newspapers were awash with features on style, that just may trigger a fashion trend or two before the top dawgs in baseball have finished duking it out.
If dudes are inclined to copy-cat their sports heroes - and follow thru with a moratorium on shaving - just betcha they'll be willing to shell out a bit of hard cash for a stylish trim at a minimum.
Two salons (barbers, if 'ya want to be butch about it) quick on the uptake in Frisco - jumped on the frenzied bandwagon already - and started offering up "drive-by" Mohawks or fauxhawks in Union Square.
OMG!
Nearly slipped my foggy brain!
Devil-may-care die-had fans are trotting down to Union Square today - before Game 1 of the World Series kicks off - for a quick scalp cut.
The brave-at-heart will be between 12 noon and 2 p.m this afternoon.
And, there is an extra added treat thrown into the mix, too.
The owner of Sweet Creme Brulee will be offering up a flaming house favorite gratis for those with the ba**s to follow thru.
Scraggly fuzz on the mug, just won't do!
Giant fans - of the sultry shapely female persuasion - won't be left out of the dugout either.
Braidhawks are available, too!
See 'ya there!
