This might give a whole new meaning to “scoring” some World Series tickets.
Forget about getting to third base, police in Bensalem, Bucks County, say a woman there offered sex for a couple of World Series tickets.
The woman’s lawyer is adamantly denying the charges.
But he’s not denying that Susan Finkelstein, 43, is a rabid Phillies fan who was suffering from a serious case of Phillies Phever and was desperate to get her mitts on some World Series ducats.
It’s how far she was willing to go to get them that is in dispute.
Finkelstein took out a personal ad on Craigslist Web site, describing herself as a “gorgeous buxom blonde,” and seeking World Series tickets.
In the ad she went on to list the price as “negotiable. I’m the creative type! Maybe we can help each other.”
The ad no doubt was meant to raise a few eyebrows. It did, including a few at the Bensalem Police Department. They set up a meeting at a bar.
They now allege she offered sex for the pricey tickets and charged her with soliciting prostitution.
You can pretty much imagine what happened next. This morning Finkelstein’s “offer” is all over the media, including front-page coverage on one of the New York tabloids.
In the immortal words of the late, great Rich Ashburn, “Hard to believe, Harry.”
