Yankee Highlights

Oscar's birthday Yankee game was a blast. The Yankees were losing until the bottom of the 9th with 2 outs when they rallied and scored 4 runs to tie it up. The crowd went crazy. The game went to the 14th inning....and then they lost. We road the subway home at 1 am with 20,000 of our closest friends.

In honor of Oscar, we upgraded our normal nosebleed tickets to 3rd base box seats. When Oscar saw the seats, his jaw literally dropped and he did his signature excited "wing flapping". For Oscar, the one part of the barn this summer that was a sacrifice was no TV for Yankees. Each day, he'd catch up on last night's game on the internet and than give Joe the highlights(gratuitous barn tie-in to stay within self-imposed blog rules). I have to say the "box seat" crowd was a bit more sane, not sure if that is good or bad. At any rate, I don't think the boys learned any new profanity which is a first.
Secret side note to my family. Go Tribe!
