A night out in NY

[willy]

Thanks guys, it is sure one for the record books. The CEO had a blast, as a matter of fact me, her and the kids were on ESPN broadcast of the game several times, were getting calls at the stadium from friends and family watching the game. My son in Penn State called on my cell and said where are you right now? He heard the roar in the phone and said never mind I just saw you again on the TV.
Pretty cool, my #4 Lyndsey was wired and still going this morning about it.

Willy, while I appreciate the great time you had with your family and the great seats I have to question your judgement when it comes to baseball teams. Go Sox!

You can question all you want my friend. Good luck with that, let me know how it works out for ya.

And a couple of thoughts, I am not the biggest sport fan anymore. Prefer hanging out outdoors chasing after something. Or hanging with friends and family and can barely tell you what the names of all the teams are nowadays.
But there are some sports experiences every man should have and I have been lucky enough to experience some first hand.
One of the tops is a Yankee game at home in the stadium that Ruth built and now a new tradition has started.
If that game is while playing the Red Sox even better.
Another is a Title fight in the Felt Forum and or a Old Knicks Title game in Madison Square Garden, especially against the Celtics.
Another is a World Cup soccer match anywhere in Europe and especially when down to the final four matches
But for shear power, energy and emotion it would be any NCAA college basketball game final four match. Same with college football.
The power of it all running through you at any of these events is something as I said that every man should experience and I am sure there are others you guys have seen. But I think the ones I mentioned are among the very best of all I have seen all over the world.

Besides, there Willy...I's yankin' yer chain a bit...I'm sure that plaque commemorates the 1st year of the new Yankee Stadium and has NOTHING to do the new president's 1st year...

Great Pics. Willy. Glad to hear that your not anywhere near boston. : )-

Both my daughter and my son got balls that were fouled and caught by the dug out by LA team guys and tossed to them. Very nice.
I am glad it wasn't a driven foul where we were sitting as we were so close it would have broken my hand, I forgot a mitt.
