So on 9/14/09 Mom, Dad & I were privileged enough to take in a Yankee Game. It was perfect. We watched the Yankees & the Angels. Of course my team won…go Yankees!

The Yankee lingo, who the heck has ever heard of “dipping” your credit card? Seriously.
It was Spectacular! I couldn’t quit staring. I think Dad was like a kid in a candy store. Growing up and watching MLB on TV and then being able to see where Babe Ruth played….where Mickey Mantle played….where Joe Dimaggio played…and of course Derek Jeter. Can you imagine watching the greatest ball players on TV as a kid and then seeing where they played years later? Just wow. I’m so glad I was able to experience all of that with Dad, but I’m even more thrilled he was able to experience it.
It’s Derek Jeter on the Big Screen! Hello, future Hubster!!
Dad at Yankee Stadium. He was reading up on the Yankees. I don’t think he could believe he was at their game.
Watching the Game. Officially hooked on MLB…and the YANKEES!
We were far up, but that didn’t matter to me. I was at a Yankees Game!!! A Yankees Game that I had no idea I was going to mere hours before it was taking place.
A-ROD!!
Gooooo Yankees!
Pepsi & Gatorade…you’re phenomenal!
Mom & I went exploring. We stumbled upon the Yankee Stadium Museum. I completely loved this. I’m such a history fan that this was right up my alley.
Yes, y’all that is Babe Ruth’s actual signature. It’s amazing to see something like this in person.
You read about the Yankees in history books in school, you read about Babe in various stories growing up, but seeing his name, his actual signature, jersey’s and even a baseball on display with some of his personal belongings. It all throws you for a loop, a loop that history does exist. Man, I love history.
What the “typical” Yankee locker room looked like in the old stadium.
A fellow Okie. Mickey Mantle. His hometown is about 3 1/2 hours away from Norman….he’s from a small town called Commerce. I’ve never been there – I’ll make it there, someday. I’m a Yankee fan, after all.
Would you look at those Yankees? There are sooooo many greats on the walls at the stadium.
