Day 6 - Anahiem Angels @ New York Yankees

On day 6, me and my dad got up at around 8 and walked around in Boston. We went to Starbucks to have a quick breakfast. Also, we went into an AT&T store to play around with the iPhone. What a cool device. It works as fast as it looks on the commercials and feels like a very durable phone. I had a lot of fun with it. Too bad there is no service for it yet in Canada!

We caught another on-time flight, and drove to our hotel on the SW side of Central Park. After we checked in, we walked to the Ed Sullivan Theatre, to see the site of the Late Show with David Letterman. This was very special for me because I really enjoy his show. We also walked through Times Square, through the theatre district.

We cabbed it through the massive Central Park to the mecca of baseball, Yankee Stadium. Get this: there are no knapsacks allowed in Yankee Stadium. Guess what I brought? So, we asked a woman with a truly horrific set of teeth where we could put the bag. She said that there was a bowling alley that checks bags for five dollars. On the way to the bowling alley, we saw a cop chasing someone into a parking garage. I believe that the cop was searching the man and he found something that he wasn’t supposed to have, and my dad believes that he was trying to sneak into the stadium. At the bowling alley, we met a bunch of other confused tourists.

We walked by the new stadium, set to open in ’09.

When we got into Yankee Stadium, we were very confused as to where we were to go. We asked a few people for directions, and found that we were in the Luxury Seats. Me and my dad both looked at each other, surprised, and worried that we would be under dressed. We were the first ones in the box. When we got in, we saw a massive YES poster on the wall. YES is the Yankee’s broadcaster. Could this be George Steinbrenner’s box? We both briefly thought so, before some guys from Hyundai came in.

In the third inning, we moved down to the wheelchair-accessible area to meet one of my dad’s friends, his son, Hollis, and his daughter, Hillary.

The game was great. The score went back and forth, but in the end, the Yankees won 14-9. We took the subway home, which was like packing sardines into very old tin cans.
