Pre-Game: There was a buzz in the air at the stadium. I was blessed with the opportunity to go to a playoff game- Big Thanks to Mr. Hugh. It was f'n Game 6 with the Yanks up 3-2. Anticipation was high all day Sunday, so we went up to the Bronx early to take it all in. Saw groups of fans cheering it up in front of the various tv news crews, saw "Big Pussy" from the Sopranos stroll by, basically watched the legions of fans stroll in with the excitement of the prospect of a win to make to the World Series, the first time in six years.
Don't get me wrong, it would be great to have seats right behind home plate; but there's nothing like watching a game up in Tier where the real fans sit to watch and talk shit. Here anything goes. Didn't see one cop the whole game. Good luck if you are a visiting team fan, you might get called out.
After our last game where I was let into the game with a pizza box, I didn't hold back with the game snacks. Of course I love a Stadium Nathan's, but it's not enough to hold down 5 hours of nervous hunger. Armed to the teeth with couple Buffalo Chicken Subs, Cherry Zeroes, Peanuts, Cookies, Brownies, and Gem of a find @Pathmark: not just regular Ketchup Chips but HEINZ HERR's- Jillian, Hugh and I weren't going hungry. With such a clutch game, you didn't really want to leave the action nor stand on line and miss a play for some stupid Nachos.
Top of the Ninth, 2 outs, the count is 3-2. The whole Stadium was on their feet cheering on Mo' for the close out. One pitch later...BOOM we witness history. The whole place erupted in screams of elation. I've never experienced anything like that. We were so f'n high from the win.
We stayed for a bit to watch the post-game on the big screens and watch the team celebrate with champagne sprays. It was amazing to witness a Game 6 Playoff win. Geeked out and walked around taking pics. Great night in the Bronx. Hyped to take on the returning champions in the Fall Classic. Go Yanks!
I was hyped to get home and check the pics taken by the Yankeeographer. Almost jumped the gun and bought the framed pic, but noticed the banner around pic was for the previous series against the Twins(?). Get it right lady. Stoops!
