How did they get tickets?

The 2007 playoffs for Major League Baseball begin today.

The FOX network won't begin its coverage until the start of the American League Championship Series Friday, Oct. 12, but I'm already beginning to wonder which celebrities we might see in the stands from FOX's regular prime-time lineup. Certain celebrities from the FOX lineup, oftentimes from the network's newest fall shows, always seem to land tickets for the playoff games (maybe they're the only ones who can afford the scalpers' prices?) and the FOX cameras, God bless 'em, always seem to be able to find those celebs to show their faces on TV even though there might be close to 60,000 fans at a game. And the FOX baseball play-by-play announcer always takes those opportunities to not only note the names of those celebrities, but also talk about their FOX shows. Amazing!

So whom could we expect to see in the stands at Fenway Park, Jacobs Field or Yankee Stadium later this month? Maybe Brad Garrett (I think his post-"Raymond" show is actually entering its second season) or his former co-star Patricia Heaton (aka Debra Barone) who is in a new show with Kelsey Grammer (now if he happens to land tickets for a game at Fenway Park, you'd have to figure he'd be stopping by a certain bar either pre-game or post-game). And aren't Wayne Brady and Jeff FOX-worthy both on the network now? Then again, maybe Foxworthy would refuse to be shown on camera this postseason, with his home state's Braves out of the field?

Somehow, somewhere, one or more of the aforementioned celebs should be expected to be shown on camera during a FOX baseball telecast this October. Least likely to be seen? Well, I have too much respect for John Walsh to think he'd stoop to that kind of promotion. But what about others who have appeared on FOX's Saturday night lineup?

Like maybe some drunk drivers or prostitutes who have recently been busted on "Cops," maybe sitting at a game, handcuffed to their seats? We'll have to wait and see.
