(Yeah, I’ve basically replaced my regular camera with Hipstamatic.)
I’m so happy that it’s baseball season again.
Last night, I went to a Yankees game against the Angels as part of their Home Opening Series. When we got there, it was t-shirt weather, but by the time we left it was 12-layer winter weather & pouring rain. I guess we were lucky that we got the tickets through NYU and were given the worst seats in the house because we were so far back that we were covered and didn’t get rained on.
None the less, saw my second in-person Jeter home run and the Yankees won 6-2.
Here’s a video of the fans in the Grandstands trying to get a wave to go around the entire stadium:
As you probably know, I’ve become a pretty big Yankees fan this season, and last night went to my first Yankee game at the new Yankee Stadium! Not that I’ve ever been to the old stadium or anything, but let me just say that the new stadium is BEAUTIFUL. One of the coolest buildings ever.
I got the tickets through NYU, so they were really cheap, but pretty much the worst in the house. The only problem I had with sitting in the nosebleeds though wasn’t that it was a bad view (because it wasn’t!) but that it gets SO cold up there! It was 56 degrees on the ground, which is bareable if you got layers, but up that high in the grandstands the wind whips so hard that I’m pretty sure I came close to legit hypothermia.
The Yanks ended up loosing to the Kansas City Royals. Yeah. Seriously. But we’ve already won the division title so next few games don’t even matter for us.
