Yankees game-by Daddy and C

NEW YORK CITY-Yankee Stadium-Saturday, July 19

New York Yankees vs Oakland A's
Early Saturday morning, Daddy, C, and Uncle left for New York City to take in a Yankees game. They got on the 9:37 am train for the city. Once in the city, they got off the NJ transit train at Penn Station. They then took the subway to 59th Street. Then they had to change trains to the D train and got off at the world famous address of Yankee Stadium--161st Street and River Avenue in the Bronx. Once they arrived, they followed the crowd to the stadium. Before they went into stadium, Daddy took a picture of the new stadium that is being built.

Once they found their seats, they went to get something to eat. Here is what C said he ate: "First I had a pretzel and lemonade. Then we got peanuts and I shared a frozen lemonade with Daddy. Uncle got me ice cream later on."

When C was asked what his favorite part of the day was, he said: "The Yankees winning and Daddy bought me a cool foam finger."

When Daddy was asked what his favorite part of the day was, he said: "Just being able to be there. That was cool. Actually I think my favorite part would have to be when the Yankees tied it up in the ninth inning."

Here is a re-cap of the game: The Yankees scored two in the second, the A's scored 1 in the fifth and 1 in the seventh. Both teams scored in the 9th to send it to extra innings. Jose Molina secured a win for the Yankees when he was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded in the 12th. The final score was Yankees 4 Oakland A's 3.

All in all, it was a great day.

We are jealous here. Our Daddy is a big Yankees fan and we have been to a few games. We had talked about going to one last game in the old stadium, but it hasn't worked out. We are now trying to make a game in the new stadium, the first year.

Tell C that I like the pretzels, too. I go to eat (sounds like he did, too).
