Yankee "sweat" Stadium - Day 5

Jason was able to fullfill a lifelong dream of attending a Yankees game. We attended two games with great seats behind home plate and luckily in the shade. (THANKS Mackays & John Buck - Royals Catcher) It was really fun but also unbelievably hot. 100 degrees plus humidity - not a good combination.
Jeter at the plate.
Melting in the stands.

(If you enlarge this picture you can actually see the drops of sweat on Guy's head - it was HOT!)

Ice down the shirts and frozen lemonade were our only relief.



After the games we took the subway back. The last night we got on the subway and of course it is sardines of bodies without strong air conditioning. We made it two stops before Guy decided he was going to lose it. We made a split decision at the next stop to jump off and it was a good one. We review the map again and realized that we could just get on a different subway train on the same line and still get to our hotel. The next train was actually almost empty and had great air conditioning. We had a long ride ahead of us and we were thankful for Guy's almost breakdown. Thanks Guy.

Take me out to the ball game at Yankees Stadium.
