We congregated at 3:30 at the Rockaway Mall anxiously awaiting the bus that the wonderful Roy Spierer arranged for our Yankee Game trip. It arrived at 4pm and we loaded up, coolers, boys and girls, submarine sandwiches, chips, baseball memorabilia and all.
Off we went with a great ride by Andre the bus driver. We asked for music, we got it. Bathroom, right in back of the bus. Prizes given out, announcements made, all in good spirits despite some minor soggy weather.
Traffic cooperated and we landed at the new Yankee Stadium promptly at 5:30pm, plenty of time to tour the stadium, get some eats and drinks and find our seats way up high. The game was slightly delayed, but nobody minded.
The Yankees were red hot but it was a close game with Baltimore, with the Yanks finally winning 6 to 4.
Thank you Roy and Lindsay (his daughter who has the connections with the stadium since she works there) for coordinating such a fun time in the middle of the work week. Once again, another fantastic social event run by the Craigmeur Ski Club. Also thanks to those attending – all with good cheer and resourcefulness.
