Last year we scheduled a trip to NYC to primarily go to Yankee Stadium in the summer as this was the last year for The Bombers to play in that great stadium. The Yankees were playing the Red Sox and this photo was taken from our seats. The Yankees won the game in the bottom of the 10th with a full count, two outs and a runner on second. A young player just up from the minors hit the ball over second and the winning run came in to win. The stadium erupted in cheers and Frank Sinatra’s ‘New York New York’ blared from the speakers. Awesome time!
This year we went to Chicago to see a game at Wrigley Field. The Cubbies were playing the Cardinals. We had rain coming in from the west and it looked like the game may not get played. However, shortly after getting to our seats (which were under the overhang-so we didn’t get wet) the ground crew came out and the cheers ensued. The game started about 30 min. late. This game was like a Ferris Bueller’s Day Off (although, I didn’t sing Danke Shoen from a float ;o) ), an afternoon game and the folks around us were all very friendly. The guy sitting next to Lorie got us reservations at his Italian family style restaurant (I will post more about our trip in another blog post)…great food! The Cubbies lost 8-3. It still was a great time!!!
These are the stadium shots from our seats.
So ‘a one, a two, a three…Take me out to the ballgame, take me out with the crowd, buy me some peanuts and cracker jack, I don’t care if I ever get back….’ Enjoy!
Cheers, Charlie
