WHAT: a baseball game. america's pass time. a commemoration of yankees announcer bob sheppard and franchise owner george steinbrenner. two new patches on the uniform and a silent game. literally....silent. all versus the tampa bay devil rays.
WHERE: the new yankee stadium...slightly offset from the former, non-existent yankee stadium. 161st street and river avenue...you can't miss it. upper deck
WHEN: 7.16.2010
WHY: goldie scored tickets. she asked me to join her. i had never been to the new stadium. we have a soft spot for cheap beer at the cost of premium beer + $3. we appreciate concession stand vittles within the price range of gourmet food. one can never "high-five" too many times. there are bound to be some good characters sitting around us. singing "new york, new york" like a fool is completely acceptable and highly encouraged. i'm a met fan, but i find it perfectly okay to go to yankee game and cheer for them. pato gets in for free.
swisher hits a few runners in during the bottom of the ninth. yankees win. swisher gets a pie to the face. everyone is high-fiving. everyone is singing. if only the mets could do this.
