We were off to Yankee Stadium this morning a mere 11 hours after returning to our hotel on Tuesday night. There was no way to repeat our unique experiences of Tuesday which was okay. We were greeted by a middleman we had not had discussions with on Tuesday and he was immediately told by Robert, someone we had spoken to on Tuesday and who was part of the tiff then over whose customers we were, that we were his customers. Then it was the "follow me up here" line that we heard many times on Tuesday. We made the walk up to the next block and around the corner and viewed a better selection of tickets than Tuesday, paid the damage and then proceeded to the park where we had a great view AND protection from the hot afternoon sun. Ah, priceless. No wait! I didn't really mean that!
An interesting side note. We sat behind a dad and his son from Minnesota who had been in Boston on Sunday when we were, Yankee Stadium today and will be at the game tomorrow in Baltimore. So I'm not the only crazy old man.
Fortunately for anyone reading this we did not get many pictures of ourselves today. So I am posting some shots that give the flavor of the inside of the stadium, a little action, my favorite Yankee tradition and, yes, it was Seniors' Day. Love them or hate them, one has to admit that this franchise has an incredible history with some amazing participants in that history over most of a century.
The boys finally got to experience an offensive display by their Yankees and a 10-6 victory. Off to Baltimore on Thursday morning.
Jack,
Great pictures! The Yankee tradition is captured and ,oh, the nostalgia. The boys are obviously having a great time and appear to be well fed.
What an amazing trip! You seem to specialize in “trips of a lifetime”!
I went to the Empire State Building without the Express Pass–oops! they probably weren’t invented yet;)
Enjoy the rest of your trip.
