Wallet card at Yankee Stadium

 

Don’t try to find the wallet card, it’s in my pocket. Third week into the new job, and just in time for the office summer outing to a Yankee game! We were in a large suite with a big window, no outside air which was weird but appreciated on a 90 degree night. Seats with tables and a buffet dinner. Unlike my last job, lots of hardy co-workers who stayed until the end of the 11 inning game.

And what a game! Yankees were losing 1-0 in the eighth, and ended up winning 5-4 in the 11th, with lots of back and forth drama in the late innings. Home runs by Grisham and Volpe, a blown save from Williams, one of the worst base running blunders I’ve ever seen from Wells, a great catch by Dominguez, and finally a walk off hit by McMahon. Posting now from Penn Station as I wait for the train home. A late night but worth it!

  1. Whoa. Yankees game in a suite? Very cool. Is this the game where Masanori Murakami threw out the first pitch?

  2. Wow! I know what those "box suites" cost at Truist Park for a game (50k). I can only imagine what one cost at Yankees Stadium.
