Yankee Game!

Last week, Mark and I went to see the Yankees play! It was one of our favorite nights in New York. For those of you who didn't know (like me), the Yankees have a brand new stadium this year and it is really fancy. We sat in the bleachers and had a great view of the game. I don't know why the bleachers are the cheapest seats because they are my favorite place to sit. I guess you are a little far from the pitcher, but you have a great view of home runs. We sat next to this older couple who had apparently given tickets to a young mom and son outside the game. The little boy was hilarious and he'd get really into the game and yell at the umpire. The old man would explain some of the finer details of baseball to him and it was really cute. They were even nice enough to take a picture of us!
It was a really good game. The Yankees beat the Orioles 2-1 on a home run in the 9th by "Godzilla" - his real name escapes me. They pied him in the face during the interviews after the game. Mark wants to go see the Yankees play the Red Sox next week, which is known to be a pretty heated game among the fans. After a semi-questionable call during our game, a guy in our section stood up and said it was a bad call and the entire section booed him for a while. Lesson learned, don't mess with New Yorkers. When the Yankees win, they play Frank Sinatra's, "New York, New York" and Mark and I definitely felt like we were "a part of it."
