My boy John that I went to school with in Florida was up with his fiance from Florida for his birthday. What better way to celebrate than a Yankees game with his family.
We got parked around 12 in the stadium lot and proceeded to let the tailgating begin. With everyone lightly buzzed except his father and 8 year old brother we headed to the stadium. His other brother was with his girl and they were a little more buzzed than the rest of us which held us up at the gate because he got questioned by a stadium official if he had been drinking. The seats were actually really good considering they were tier seats, we had an incredible view of the field. So the drinking, hot dog eating and screaming of profanities continued on all afternoon to make it an overall great day. The Yanks swept the World Series Champion Chicago White Sox in the 3 game series and Mariano Rivera got his 400th save making him only the 4th relief pitcher in history to do so.
Traffic on the way back was heavy but moving. Once we got home we played a baseball game at one of the local fields with a bunch of his brothers friends. The heat was awful and I realized how much I hate it. Either way, I hit one home run, a pop fly then I belted a line drive right into his brothers chest who was pitching (he's fine). I forgot how much more fun hardball is than softball and with the nice new wood bats I had it made it all that much more fun.
The evening ended with more beer and pizza. I just wish I had more friends like this that didn't just come up a couple of times a year...
