We were in New York back in August '02 and caught a Yankees game. Didn't pre-order tickets at all, I just went to the Ticketmaster in midtown Manhattan(for some reason I remember it being in an HMV or whatever the American equivalent to that was) the day before the game and got them no problem, about $30 a-piece(not bad seats either). Unless its someone like the Red Sox, I wouldn't worry about it selling out. Usually big crowds, but with 81 home games a season, sellouts aren't the regular. For example, when we went they were takin on the Athletics, who at the time were the #2 team in the AL(the Yanks were #1), so this was a possible ALCS matchup. Plus it was a Friday night, so that's always a big crowd. And we still got tix no problem.

PS- there's always scalpers too. They're everywhere, we saw em around the Subway stations when we got off.
