All the cool blog names were taken, so my cats, Cooler and Fizler, lent their names. This blog is about our third or fourth mega-trip that Will and I have taken to Vermont every September since the year before Hurricane Katrina.

Yankee Stadium

Today was our chance to see the New York Yankees play in Yankee Stadium. They are getting a new stadium, right next door. Will has been a Yankees fan since he was little and we obtained a copy of a video about The Subway Series, when the Yanks played the Mets. The Yankees won, of course, and Will, as an impressionable young kid, watched that video repeatedly. He fell in love with the Yankees because of that video.


So here we are in Yankee Stadium! Nine games left in the place where Ruth, Dimaggio and Mantle played.

The 2008 Yankees are stinking up the place today. They just lost to Tampa Bay, 7-1.

Will did get to see Jeter make one of his spectacular throws, though.

Before the game, there was a moment of silence to remember 9-11-01. It is very different to experience that kind of thing in this city.

At the end they played Sinatra singing "New York, New York", of course.

Even tho the home team lost, we still had a memorable time!
