Want to see a Yankee fan suffer? Buy Bomber Bucks

The New York Yankees have a creative way to separate their fans from their money. It's called Bomber Bucks -- a cute name for gift certificates that are really hard to use.

On the face of it, it appears to be a great gift idea for a fan of the Bronx Bombers. It's not until the person actually wants to use them that it becomes a problem.

You see, Bomber Bucks can only be redeemed at the Yankees ticket window in the Bronx, and tickets for regular folk are hard to come by, at least in person. While you can hunt for tickets as often as you want online, and sometimes get lucky, forget paying for them with Bomber Bucks because you can't use them online. Tell the ticket window about the tickets you found online on the Yankees official site and somehow they become invisible.
