NYC Trip - Day 3: Yankee Baseball Game

We all met downstairs at our hotel to go get on the subway that would take us right to the Yankee stadium (except Wendy and Benje, they went to a show).  Kimball was pretty tired and took a little nap on Tony. We all were able to have seats, and it took about 30 minutes to get there, so not bad at all. 

Our station stopped right in front on the Yankee Stadium.  We just had to walk down the stairs and cross the street.  We bought some bottles of water outside the stadium and then we went in. 

We got there a couple hours early so that we could walk around and check out the stadium.  We went down as far as they would let us to take pictures of the home plate and the field.   

We then walked around some more before we found our seats.  We were up pretty high, but we still had a good view of the field straight back from the first base line.

Tony and I then went and looked around for what we wanted to eat.  We decided to get a bucket of chicken fingers and fries.  We figured we could share with others and then have a bucket to take home.  They were pretty good and was perfect for sharing.  The fried couldn't use more salt, but besides that it was great.

The seats all then filled in and the game started.  It was kind of a slow boring game to start.  Not much action on the field, but it was fun watching the fans for both teams.  We chatted with a guy behind us from New York who is a Met's fan.  He was cheering for Boston Red Socks because the enemy of my enemy is my friend.  We thought that was pretty funny.

Teagan joined us about halfway into the game.  I decided she was lucky and exactly what the Yankees needed because they started playing better once, she came.  The game got more exciting and the Yankees ended up winning 4-0.

At the end of the game, we took our time leaving the stadium.  Julie and Betsy went around and got some of the buckets that others had left behind for themselves.  We then made out way through the crazy crowds to get ourselves to the subway.  We then got ourselves on the subway and us ladies even got us seats.  We hunkered down all crammed in the subway and made our way to our hotel.  People slowly started leaving our subway car with each passing station and it slowly got better.  It was late and we were glad to be back at our hotel for a good night's sleep.
