Yankees Win! Theeeeee Yankees Win!

My brother Colin and I signed up for a bus trip to watch the Yankees beat up on the Sox on Saturday. Some of the highlights:

The bus initially seemed comfortable and the weather was beautiful, the day was off to a great start!

But I soon realized the seats were a lot less roomy when the kid in front of me decided to recline. Being taller guys, Colin and I both had aching legs by the time the bus pulled back into Portsmouth!

Here is Colin just inside the entrance to the Stadium. You may notice it is a bit more roomy and brighter than the dungeon they call Fenway.
Here we are on our way to our seats in the upper deck. As you can see, the cramped conditions on the bus cost me one of my legs.

This is the view from our seats. Last row of the upper deck but right behind home plate!

Hmmm, did I mention that we had a few beers at the game?


And the Yankee Captain, Derek Jeter, took some time after the game to pose with us. What a guy.

And of course the Yankees won 5-0 behind a dominant CC Sabathia, on their way to a 4-game sweep. It was a great day and a great weekend.

best stadium ever. I like how we got hot dogs on one corner, then hamburgers and beers on the next. Best city in the world!

Was a bad weekend to be a Red Sox fan in NYC for sure!!! We sat right below you in the Delta 360 Suite. Beautiful stadium, but a bit overstimulating. Good thing they have those big white gloves telling all those smart Yankees fans when to clap!!!
