Kikkoman ad in Yankee Stadium

Today’s photo is of my seat in Yankee Stadium back in the summer of 2012. I was in the first row of the second deck right behind the Kikkoman advertisement (from which I took this photo) until I couldn’t take the heat anymore and moved to a similar location on the first base side in the shade. It was over 100 degrees and very humid–hence the empty seats in the sun.

Look for many more Japanese advertisements in Yankee Stadium this summer as the arrival of Masahiro Tanaka (田中 将大) means there will likely be more people watching Yankee games in Japan than in New York.

Alex Rodriguez (New York Yankees) and Freddie Freeman (Atlanta Braves)

These two ballplayers are headed in opposite directions. Alex Rodriguez is literally out, as in sitting out the 2014 season due to a suspension for violating the MLB drug policy. Freddie Freeman, on the other hand, just signed a new contract and figures to be the heart of the Braves organization for years to come.
