…had to be something special of course, so my roommates and I went to the Bronx to watch, what you might call America’s national sport, baseball. We had bought tickets a long time ago, so we were pretty excited. We came to the stadium way ahead of schedule, but it allowed us to eat before the game, and to walk inside the stadium without being disturbed too much; and ample time for photo ops, which, you know, I love.

(I didn’t take the picture of myself - my roommate A. Mark Rosso did. Thanks Mark.)

Anyway.. at 1pm we learned that the game was postponed until 3pm, and slowly we learned that the opponing team had not flown out of Florida yet. So we decided to head back home around 3pm, because we (a) could get our tickets exchanged for another home game, and (b) we did not want the delayed game to get in conflict with our tennis game at the US Open.

But as we got home, we learned that our US Open game (with R. Federer) was cancelled. Whaaaaaaat! So, I haven’t got any tennis pictures for you - but maybe we’ll catch a game during the week, but hey: school starts, and the tickets are not getting any cheaper. But hopefully, I will be able to catch the baseball game sometime soon, and then report back to you as regards to how it actually feels to be in a baseball stadium at game time (and not outside game time, as is the case with the picture above).
