The game was Yankees vs. Rays - and it was also the day that Derek Jeter was honored for his 3000th hit. What a game & the Yankees put a hurtin' on the Rays. We enjoyed a great game and indulged in hotdogs, garlic fries, peanuts, cracker jacks & beer! Oh and some ice cream too - haha! {Yeah I know, maybe over indulged a bit}. My husband and I love going to a baseball game. This is our first one this year, which is quite unusual for us. We normally go to several games a year but for whatever reason did not go to any yet. We have some catchin' up to do! Maybe a playoff game?
For those of you that don't know, I am a HUGE Yankees fan. You can check out my blog post about "Growing up Yankee" when you have a few minutes.
Here are some pictures from the game
You'd never know the old stadium used to be right here ... now it's a beautiful park and walkway.
RIP Boss Steinbrenner
If you squint you can see Derek's butt (#2)

Stadium dogs - nothing like em'
Ah... the garlic fries. You haven't lived until you've had Yankee stadium garlic fries!
And the beer... Love my $10 Yankee stadium beer.
...And here we are! Our seats were decent - main level (middle level) in left field.

Great post! You look gorgeous in braids. :)
ReplyDeleteThose garlic fries look pretty gorgeous too.
Hi Skye!
ReplyDeleteWasn't it a great game? Your hot dog and fries photos made me hungry!!
I didn't know that Jeter was going to be honored until the game began but I was so happy to see the ceremonies and the exceptional ring that the Yankee organization gave to him and his dad.
I read your growing up Yankee post..such good memories for you. I grew up a Mets fan (although I always loved Mickey Mantle as a child) When I met my husband he converted me into a full blown Yankee fan! It's all good :)
PS: Your daughter is adorable!
My sister is a big Yankee fan and has season tickets. Once in awhile she will take me. Cute pictures!
ReplyDeleteawesome pictures! what a good time! there is just nothing better than baseball and beer in the summertime! :)
ReplyDeleteYvette Nana- thanks - took me 30 mins to do those braids - grrrr - and they still looked like someone with no fingers did them!
ReplyDeletePat - We did NOT know Derek was going to be honored either- we were like "Oh wow what is this???!!!" - and yes great game - hip hip jorge! THe old man still has it!
Funny b/c my husband was a mets fan when I met him and I have successfully converted him over to the dark side ;) hehehehe
Kimberly - Oh your sister is a lucky person - I wouldn't mind season tickets!! :)
Rachel - Amen to that! Beer & hotdogs. YUM!
What a fun time! I think I forgot to respond to you about the Yankees v Mets thing. I am actually not personally a Yankee fan (or much of any fan really) but my mom and dad's families are hardcore :)
