The original reason for the trip to New York was to see a Yankees game. Not only did we see a Yankees game, but a Yankees/Red Sox game. It was a much different experience watching a game in New York than it is watching a game in Seattle. First of all, the fans in New York seemed to know a little more about baseball. Second, since the hated Red Soxs were in town there were fights everywhere. I would guess there was easily 10+ fights in our general area. Cops ran from one section to another kicking people out from about the fourth inning on. The funny thing was that about half the fights were between girls.
We got to the stadium a little early and went out to see Monument Park (they have the retired numbers and plaques of great Yankees). Before the game, my dad and I walked around the stadium and poked our heads out in a couple different sections. Yankee Stadium is an amazing place to watch a game, but the concessions, bathrooms, etc... are not the greatest. I guess we will have to go out in a couple years to check out the new Yankee Stadium.

Thanks Karlee for the pictures of Yankee Stadium. Yes it was the real reason we went to NYC, but Jo got only one real picture of the stadium. But she did get about ten pictures of the Today Show. Jim
