We had a bit of late start thanks to seeing Smiti last night. I did pop out in the morning to get another coffee and update the blog a bit.

We went to do a bit of shopping in the afternoon at Rockefella Center and then went for dinner near Times Square at a very traditional Italian restaurant. We popped back to the hotel to get changed and then walked over to Grand
Central Station where we could get the train to Yankee Stadium. It didn’t take
very long, although we had to change once as we didn’t quite get on the right
train initially. The stadium was very busy when we arrived.
It was quite dark and lots of people about. Once we got through a long queue
for security, we had to get an elevator up to our seats in the top stand.

They were really good seats behind the batter looking out over the playing field. Thankfully we had some young lads sitting in front of us and fairly quite (compared to other areas!) supports around us.

The atmosphere was great, every hit or
other incident was cheered loudly. Unfortunately the Yankees gave up 3 runs in
the 3rd inning that really dictated the rest of the game. They had a late rally at the bottom of
the 9th. By this time is was almost midnight, and although I would
never usually leave a sporting match until it had finished, we left just before
it finished. This actually worked out pretty well as we were able to get the
Subway and back to the hotel for about 00:30am.
