Summary

This quote suggests that the more expensive seats in a ballpark are often occupied by people who have a limited understanding of the game. The speaker, having observed this over a span of 20 years, believes that there is a negative correlation between the knowledge of the game and the cost of the seats. This implies that those who can afford pricier tickets may value the experience or status associated with attending a game more than actually understanding and appreciating the sport being played.

It never fails to amaze me that the classics hold a romantic theory of poetry, and a romantic poet a classical theory.
