Not by Jason Heyward of the Atlanta Braves @ Yankee Stadium last year…
… but by the fan in the first row. Check out the kid next to him who has his glove up but isn’t even looking for the ball.
This home run by Alex Rodriguez was one of many on the day as the Yankees and Braves tied a Yankee Stadium record for most home runs.
Neo-gothic tower of the Brooklyn Bridge
On May 24, 1883 the Brooklyn Bridge opened for use. I walked over it for the first time a little over 129 years later to take today’s photo.
Mets vs. Yankees
When I visit a new stadium for the first time (especially when it is also likely my last time too) I don’t like to sit in one seat the entire game. However, when it is a Yankees vs. Mets game, the game will be sold out and not many empty seats can be found to move into. I found a few seats in the very back row behind home plate to watch an inning from. The banter in this location between the Mets and Yankees fans was quite hilarious.
The Mets and Yankees face off later this month over Memorial Day Weekend. Two games will be played at Citi Field followed by two in Yankee Stadium.
David Wright of the New York Mets (and Team USA in the 2013 WBC)
A win today (against Canada) for Team USA in the 2013 World Baseball Classic and they will move on to the next round in Miami. Today’s game may have been meaningless, and they would already be eliminated had they lost to Italy yesterday. However, David Wright hit a grand slam with the score tied, and Team USA held on for the 6-2 victory.
Today’s photo was taken at the Mets-Yankees game I went to at Citi Field in Queens, New York in June of 2012.
Columbia University – New York
A few hours before this sunset, Ryan and I were checking out the Columbia University campus in New York last summer. In between the two photos we were caught in a lighting storm. The skies actually opened up while we were on this campus, and we retreated to the library at the far end of today’s photo to avoid getting drenched.
The One Sushi 日本料理
We love baseball, sushi, apple pie, and Chevrolet. Isn’t that how the song goes?
March is here, and that means baseball season is not far away. In fact, with the 2013 World Baseball Classic beginning this weekend, the 2013 baseball season is more or less underway.
Today’s photo is from my trip to Yankee Stadium last summer. This summer I’ll visit several stadiums I have never been to before, but probably none of them will be in the USA. They will be in Japan and Korea. Stay tuned.
