It rained the whole way from Boston to New York (4 hours). We dropped our stuff off at the hotel and took the subway to the Bronx for the game. We were a little late for the 1:05 start…RAIN DELAY. They really wanted to play this game because the teams did not have a common day to make the game up if it was canceled.
We sat in our seats (under the 4th deck canopy behind home plate) until 5:20. It did not stop raining once. The temperature was dropping and the rain was not letting up. We went back to our hotel to warm up and plan our evening. The sad thing about this rainout was this was the only game Jane had an opportunity to see on the trip.
We picked John’s Pizza (highly recommended) just off Broadway – not a play, but a restaurant. The place was packed on a Thursday night, but the wait was well worth it. The pizza was great!
As we were sitting down we noticed the Washington-New York game on the TV. We figured they must have started about 6:30 and we all agreed none of us could have lasted that long. It was an afternoon game that turned into a night game. The game got over at 1:05 am. In retrospect we should have gone to the game when they started playing. It was still great to see the new Yankee stadium…a billion dollars goes a long way when building a shrine to baseball and its winningest post-season team.
In the that’s-why-they-play-the-game category, the winningest team in baseball history lost to the worst team in baseball 3-0
After eating we spent the evening in Times Square people watching, window shopping, and buying some souvenirs.
