The gift that keeps on giving......Sven and Nikolas got me Yankees tickets for my birthday back in June....the game was last Saturday. A long time to wait but well worth it! Nikolas just couldn't understand why I was cheering for the Yankees and not the Orioles. I was worried about being a minority in the crowd but it didn't take long to realize that every New Yorker within 100 miles must have been at that game. We actually felt bad for the O's that the NY crowd overpowered the hometown one. As we left the game though we saw that there were easily 70 buses full of Yankees fans that had driven down for the game. I'd have to say that the most intriguing part of a Yanks game is the crowd..... talk about a study in human behavior! =) It was surely a good time.....and the Yanks won (5 to 3) =).
Surprisingly, ARod didn't get that warm of a reception when he was up to bat. But, Sven and I reminisced the games when we saw him play for the Mariners. I still like him...and he always did the Yanks proud his time around.
Derek Jeter has been with the Yankees for what seems like forever. I rememember watching him at Yankee stadium during my KP years. I just googled him and found out he's exactly ONE DAY older than I am. How cool is that? I always think these guys are so much older than us.....not by just one day either!
Crowd control......the crowd really started to heat up and law enforcement made its presence on the field.
What a beautiful sky!
