FREDDY!












Freddy is a bit of an icon at Yankee Stadium. He bangs large pots and makes a lot of noise and he has his own website I am told. On the West Coast "Crazy George" would be the equivalent. Posted by Picasa

The House That Ruth Built










It's a sparse old stadium, to be sure. Nothing like AT&T in San Francisco. It's simpler, and frankly, less commercial. Posted by Picasa

The Yankee Game!












I took the subway from somwhere near W 46th Street down to the Bronx. On the way I met this delightful family also on their way to the game and they gave me their predictions on the outcome. The gentleman pictured here heartily despises The Big Unit (Randy Johnson) and hoped that he would get shelled early and leave and the Yankees would still prevail.

It was nice talking with them and they gave me advice as a newbie about food and seating. We had a great time on the way to the game.

New York has a kind of an angry reputation until you actually visit. The people are very nice, open and fun. I had fun the whole day and the people were one of the best things about it. Posted by Picasa

Some great fans

You hear about New Yorkers and about the fans but they really are fun and very friendly. Mom and daughter here (and their freind who is not pictured) were a lot of fun.

The told me a lot of insider info about the game and various traditions. Posted by Picasa

Good witha Bowstaff

Got into a theological debate with a couple of these guys....hard core cultists. The Scientologists were out in droves as well, so I took the liberty of telling a few of them that "engrams" were a fantasy. I was not beaten. Posted by Picasa

Sparks

Bar at Hard Rock. The Sparks Rep got me this lighted lightening can but it got ripped off ten minutes later by a man who fled the building.

I have the power source. I wish him well. Posted by Picasa
