After parking the car and walking into the stadium, we passed John Sterling awaiting the players to come to the stadium. He was just standing outside the entrance near gate 8. Who knows.

In any case we entered the great hall with the huge life size pictures of all the Yankees greats. Our first stop was just to check out the field. Walking tot he field we walked into the huge concourse int he same plane vendors much closer to the seats allowing you to watch and hear the sounds of the game while in line food. Very nice.

On our way to memorial park, which is now via indoor tunnels vs.standing outside in the sun or rain, we made it about 15 minutes late. The park now closes 1 hour and 30 minutes before the official game time. Do’h!

Now to the museum. That was two ramps up from the start of the tunnel from memorial park. We waited in a short, but quick line we entered the museum. We looked at old tickets, jersey’s, and the 6 world series trophy’s including the 2000 Subway (World) Series Trophy. Way cool! I seen even the ugly 2004 Boston Redsox World Series Trophy at my college when it was on tour. After that… it was on to find our seats.

Our seats where located on the Grandstand Level, Section 429, Row 13, Seats 11 and 12. Way in left field in foul territory. Yeah. No foul balls, but we were covered in case of any rain.  It was a brisk night, but it was still warm enough that I didn’t need my gloves.

Then the game started…… we lost: 8 to 6. Go figure.

We did leave after most people have already left the stadium so getting to the car and then back to the highway to head back took a shorter amount of time than getting in. Go figure. And watching the game tonight, it seems the Yankees only do well with A-Rod. Anyway.. lets go Yankees! Maybe yet we will make the playoffs.

Side note: Anyone think Manny was on Steroids when he played for Boston? Good question to ponder……

The day game of the double header because of the rain postponement yesterday canceled that game. My sister has some great nosebleed seats and you can see the field great. The game was a problem. The Yankees lost 7 to 1 getting the only run in the bottom of the 9th inning. And this was against the Tampa Bay Rays! (Though.. we are in 4th place and they are in 1st. Go figure.) They Yankees did win the night cap, but I was already back home by the time the game ended.

After the game we went out to dinner to a Mexican restaurant on 81st and 2nd ave called Blockheads. I give this place 4 thumbs up. I had the chicken casadias, large portion, and gobbled it quickly.

I have pictures, that is, I have to wait for them from my sister. That’s about it! I’ll be heading back down to VA Monday night to get the rest of my stuff. I have more good news that I will post up Monday.

I’ll be posting more updates in the coming days on WordPress and other things that have been going on. I am going to a Yankee game this Saturday before the Stadium is demolish at the end of this season and I will for sure get photos of the game. Hopefully it will not be cancelled. So for now if you are looking for me, please excuse my absence. I been very busy switching everything back to NY.
