The House that Ruth Built

I can still remember going to my first New York Yankees game ever. The smell of popcorn and hotdog, the first sight of the huge green field as I was walking to my seat, and the sound of a cracked bat from a fastball and people's wild cheer...aah, there was an instant love connection there :) My mom and I were big fans of Paul O'Neil before Jeter came along and always rooted for him :)

During my NYC trip a couple of weeks ago, I got the chance to take the stadium tour and say goodbye. I'm definitely not happy with the decision to bulldoze the stadium. It's a piece of history. It's the House the Ruth Built....it will be missed :(

Oh yeah, the tour sucked a bit. All these mean securities were following us and eyeing all of us like hawks making sure that no one steals anything from the stadium. Hah--they must have missed me taking a handful of gravel from the Yankee dugout and putting them in my pocket. That's right, I got some dirt and gravel that Jeter and A-Rod probably spitted on (gross-hah!).

PS - Congrats to the Phillies! Although, it's an NL team..great job, guys! Yay for Tampa Bay Rays also!!
