Last night I attended the 2008 All Star game at Yankee Stadium. The seats were very similar to those that I usually get when going with Chris. The price...well, it was over 10x the price that Chris pays for Yankees tickets. My ticket (thankfully paid for by a family friend of Jodie Fodor) was 400...face value! I almost sharted (again) when I saw that!
The Game Itself
The game was pretty awesome. Here are some take aways:
-I have never been to such a historical event. Seeing all the greats at each position assemble before the game was something truly special.
-I saw my first Stealth bomber (it was way stealth)
-I participated in a "14th Inning Stretch"
-For the first time in my life, in the 15th inning, I rooted for a Boston Red Sox player. It's such an odd feeling to root for your enemy because they are playing on the same team as your guys. I was able to keep up my steady "boo's" and "Pappelbum's" for a majority of the game. But there's something about a 4hr and 50 minute game that really makes you want something...anything to happen so that the game can end.
-I did not get home until almost 2:45. Needless to say, I'm exhausted.
