...if, during the 7th inning stretch, one person was chosen at random and sacrificed on the pitcher's mound?

I think a lot of people would stay away from the games if that happened - one person out of 20,000 or so.

But, oddly, if you make it a political issue, then people are lining up to get into a worse proposition than that ball game.
