Sports: Go See the Yanks, Nah!
Posted July 30, 2008 4:21 PM
All right, now I know that overall, the Yankees are averaging about 52,700 fans per game, which clocks in at about 91 percent of their capacity, and I also know that equates to the number one drawing MLB team. BUT...I'll also have you know that while I was heading from Manhattan to the Jersey shore aboard the extremely comfortable and fast moving SeaStreak Ferry, I sat next to a group of Wall Street guys, and I overheard the following conversation, "Hey, you going to the game?" - "Nah. Forget it...Tired of watching the wheels fall off the wagon." The third guy chimes in, "What did you do with the tickets?" - To which the reply was, "I dunno, left on my desk I guess." And the four of them laughed and laughed and laughed. I experienced a myriad of emotions after hearing this blasphemy, but mostly I just wanted to shake the guy and say, "Hey Bucko, I'm only in town for a week, and I've never seen a game at Yankee Stadium! Give 'em to me, you Schmuck!"
But alas, I said nothing and just cursed all three of them under my breath. Instead, I'll do what I usually do. I'll catch the game on the tube and surf the net looking for the coolest personalized gifts for men in the entire universe at the Guyville Store. Guy gifts never looked so good.
