The Chicago Cubs were the hottest ticket in the nation in 2004, followed closely by their longtime partners in futility, the Red Sox.
Ticketsnew.com, which tracks 90 percent of online ticket sales in the U.S. in 2004, reports that baseball really is America’s pastime – and the No. 1 best-selling attraction in the U. S. with the Cubs and Sox leading the charge.
