Like advertising, baseball relies on great pitches, a loyal fan base, and the power of grown men in animal costumes to sway public opinion. Endorse America's pastime with today’s GrouponLive deal to see the New York Yankees play the Minnesota Twins at Yankee Stadium. For $34, you get one ticket for seating in section 233B on Tuesday, April 17, at 7:05 p.m., plus motor-coach transportation to and from the game, from Yankee Trails World Travel (a $69 value, including all fees).

Yankee Trails World Travel's cozy coaches transport fans to Yankee Stadium for an evening of early-season American League competition against the Minnesota Twins. The Yankees took six games of eight from the Twins in the 2011 season and look to improve upon last year's division-clinching 97-win campaign. Alongside veteran shortstop and five-time World Series champion Derek Jeter, the Yankees 2012 roster brims with breakout talents that include Robinson Canó, the 2011 Home Run Derby champion whose out-of-the-park hits have dramatically increased reports of UFOs hovering above the Bronx.

Since 1957, Yankee Trails World Travel has connected upstate New York to the wider world with motor-coach entertainment packages and all-inclusive travel packages. Each year, travelers embark on hundreds of motor-coach tours to sporting events, casinos, and plays.
