Hey, best wishes on the big day! Both my folks, and myself are October weddings…always a good month for that! (I’m assuming that you’re going to be October too.)

Steve, Flickr! Of course! I’m getting married next week, and it’s been quite busy. I hope to go through the pictures on Saturday. Maybe I can get a few up and let you know about it.

Steve: Yeah, he did; he was asked about his favorite Yankee Stadium moment. It was a very amusing interview. When asked about his Yankee Stadium moment in his time as a Yankee, he went on about how he wasn’t sure as he focuses more on team accomplishments, yadda, yadda, yadda, BUT remembered his 3HR game against the Angels, as he had never done it before…

I don’t know if you’ve gotten a chance to watch the replay, but the interview occurred before the pregame ceremonies.

Raf – did A-Rod really say that about Reggie?

mph2373 – thanks for the kind words on the pictures. Have you considered using Flickr for yours?

One thing that I should have included in the entry…

It was funny how many guys were outside the Stadium after the game looking to buy ticket stubs off people…and the responses that they got from people. Needless to say, I didn’t see anyone who was willing to sell theirs after the game.

I don’t think they mentioned any managers other than Huggins & Stengel. Managers like Michael and Martin were recognized as players.

I was reading on pete abes blog about how he didnt like the fact that they didn’t mention Torre last night, that got me thinking…Did they mention any managers? (For their managing days, not their playing days )

Perhaps the Yankees now want to pretend that he never pitched for them?
============================

It’s not like the guy did anything important…like being an integral part of 2 world championships or winning a cy young award…

I was so worried that some idiots would make us all look bad, but thankfully it was just the one moron on the field.

Towards the end of the game, I saw a bunch of people lined up outside at the bleachers entrance. I thought they were going to rush security & the police after the last out.

They didn’t.

Looking back, I wish they had opened the gates earlier. I think it would’ve been more fan friendly to do that.

Absolutely, Raf. We were talking throughout the day that it would have been nice if they opened up at 10 like a regular 1:00 game. Even if they opened at 11 it would have helped more people get a chance to walk on the field.

Really, I’m more upset with myself for never taking the tour of the Stadium I always promised myself I would. Then I would have had my chance on the warning track.

You would have expected a riot after all the hours we spent on line, only to be turned away. Couldn’t have been a nicer crowd.

I was so worried that some idiots would make us all look bad, but thankfully it was just the one moron on the field. We all saw what happened to him, and quickly.

Steve, thanks for the pictures, and I agree the post game was better than the pre. We took about 200+ pictures, but I haven’t had a chance to see how they came out. Once I do, maybe I can figure out a way to share them with anyone who might want them.
