How 'bout dem Yankees!

How nice for the Yankees to win the series in their brand new Yankee Stadium!  Pam and I slipped out to a local pub Wednesday evening so we could catch Game 6 action over a burger and a beer.  What fun!

In the summer of 2005, after my first round with this beast, we made a family trip to the Maritimes, Ontario, New York City, and Cape Cod.  The highlight of New York, for me, was the tour of the old Yankee Stadium and the evening game we took in between the Yankees and the Blue Jays.  (The highlight for the girls was shopping at Victoria Secret!!)  

Behind us in the stands were a wild bunch of young men, drinking copious quantities of "Bud" and becoming increasingly disgusted in the Yankees, who were being trounced by the Jays.  Needless to say, their attentions were often drawn to the girls!  

Around about the 7th inning stretch I gave one of the young guys my camera and asked him to take a shot.  What resulted is probably the very best family picture we have ever had!   The smiles reflect both our delight in being there and the humorous rapport we shared with our inebriated photographer friend!

But really folks... Baseball in November!
