When the game ended you would walk down that row and lift each seat in the row. When we all finished up in right filed the head groundskeeper would give everyone a free pass. Got to see unlimited Cub home games as a kid for the price of the first ticket. Buying a hot dog and a pop was the only cost. Saw a lot of baseball back then. After we finished with the seats and got our free passes enough time had elapsed to get down to the players parking lot and plead for autographs. They had finished their showers by then.

Sounds like the last few years when I used to do Montreal games....well other then having to bother with outfield seats (you could pretty much pick whatever seats were free regardless of price.)
