Would the Fenway money need to have been laundered?

No, not at a stadium. How long has it been since you've been to a game? 

When you're sitting in your seat at a baseball game, and the hot dog guy comes by (or the beer guy, or the pennant guy, or the . . . you get the idea), what happens? You yell out, "Two!" The hot dog guy stays in the aisle, making the dogs, and in what always amazes me, you hand your money - CASH - to perfect strangers, and it makes its way down to the line to get to the hot dog guy on the aisle. And your hot dogs get to you the same way.

Admittedly, when you leave your seat and go inside to buy something at the concession stand, you might use your credit card. But that would be a lot less true in 2010 then today. And even me, the guy who uses his credit card for EVERYTHING, I would bring cash to the ballgame precisely because of all the vendors coming around to the seats, and would use cash at the concessions stands, too. It's a way of controlling how much I spend.

And $50 per person is pretty high, but it's, ahem, in the ballpark. But if I'm remembering the movie right, they do specifically state that this is a weekend homestand, so it's actually three games, not two. The point being that there is definitely A LOT of cash floating around.

Now, in reality, in real life, you may actually be right - they may very well have Brinks trucks taking cash away twice or three times a day during the games to prevent this exact scenario from ever actually happening. But we don't really know that, and therefore, the scenario presented in the movie becomes plausible. More importantly, it is the weekend - and the banks are closed.




I want the doctor to take your picture so I can look at you from inside as well.
