SPT March 1, 2003 - Chuck Schultz of Toledo happily shows off the opening day Mud Hens tickets he purchased Saturday morning. He arrived at Fifth Third Field at 5am but there was nobody yet waiting so he came back at 6am. There were a couple of people already in line at that time. When the first four ticket windows opened, Schultz was the first to complete his purchase (at the window at Huron and Washington streets). Blade photo by Dave Zapotosky
