My brother works for Beth Israel (which is the Sox' official hospital, and they run the first aid stations inside the park etc.) and all through last year, he could just walk up to a ticket window on game day, flash his hospital ID, and pay $5 for tickets.

I think Aceves was the right choice, he would probably have a nutty if they had given the start to someone else.
