GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Take note Bears fans.
79-year-old Jim Becker from Racine says his Green Bay Packers loyalties may have helped save his life and has been voted into the team's Fan Hall of Fame.
To afford his season tickets without taking money from his family, he began selling his blood for $15 per pint. His doctor later found that Becker's father died young from a condition in which the blood retains too much iron -- the only treatment is to remove the iron by giving blood.
By that time, Becker had sold 145 pints to pay for his season tickets.

I'll give blood for season Bears Tickets.... And thank Papa Bear that we don't have to sport those ugly colors GB fans do! I think the McCaskeys should sell team to City of Chicago! IMO...
