June 7, 2008 (New York)

My first and only visit to "The House that Ruth Built", on a hot and humid day during the heat wave that has hit the Northeast US. Yes, I finally got to visit Yankee Stadium. And this after considering going many times before that, but never happened until its final season. Better late than never.

I did not like the fact that I had to pay money to check my backpack in a bowling alley, since bags were not allowed in the stadium. Plus I would not get a chance to see Monument Park, which closed 45 minutes before game time.

But the game itself was very entertaining. A high scoring affair, that went back and forth between the Yankees and Royals. Johnny Damon went 6-for-6 in the game, including the game winning hit in the bottom of the 9th, as the Yankees came back to win the game, 12-11.
