I’m not a huge sports fan and, being married to a
Pittsburgher, if I have any allegiance at all, it’s to teams that wear black
and gold. I did, however, almost feel
like a real Yankees fan Friday night. It’s
easy to get caught up in the spirit of things when you’re there at the stadium
and I ended up cheering as enthusiastically as everyone else watching the
Yankees beat the Angels 6-5. 
Luckily, the weather cooperated too. Temps cooled down to very comfortable low 70s
and our seats were under cover, so the little bit of rain that fell for a few
minutes didn’t do anything to “dampen” our spirits.
Prior to the game, Paul an I went to Yankee Tavern. I can sum it up in one word: LOUD!
Couldn’t wait to get out of there.
Guess that means I’m really getting old when I can’t stand the noise
level in a bar...
No matter how many times I see “Yankees Welcome Davis Day
Trips” on the marquee, it still gives me a thrill! Unfortunately, it’s extremely difficult to
get a good pic of it, so you’ll have to take my word that that’s what it says
in this photo.
Stopped in the Yankee Museum at the stadium. Again, not being a real sports fan, I couldn’t
fully appreciate it, but the “Wall of Balls” was kind of impressive.
Another highlight of the game: Nathan’s French fries smothered in cheese
sauce washed down with an ice cold beer. Doesn’t get
much better than that!
Our next trip is to the Seafood Festival in Havre de Grace,
Maryland, on August 11. This will be our
first trip there, but I’ve heard lots of great feedback from those who have
gone before. Should be a fun and
relaxing summer day, so join us if you can!
