	Isn't a game called on the basis of a protest or
something of this sort the same as a game called on the account of rain
in which case the management has the courtesy to issue a rain check to
fans who were not able to witness a complete game. The same public
policy which  dictates this courtesy should also apply to this unusal
case and is simply written off as a cost of doing business by
businessmen who rely on public opinion for their prosperity. Or
possibly George Steinbrenner doesn't care what the public thinks.  I
think the young aspiring lawyer will win his case for the Yankee
organization broke their contract by requiring additional consideration
for the completion of the promised service or event which is an
implicit promise given when offering a ticket to an event. An offer to
sell tickets is an offer and accepting the money is acceptance.
Therefore they have the responsibility to make good on their
promise.Question: Has this ever happened before and what kind of
precedents are there to consider?
