I'm talking baseball...
So the baseball season is in full swing. tonight Drew and I will make our first trip of the season to Citi Field. Seats aren't great, but you can't complain when the tickets were free. And we always have a good time at a Mets game. And considering how hot the team is ...did you see that 12 run inning against the Giants Friday night?
Drew and I lived in Queen for a few years, back when our children were babies. The joke was that if we were watching a Mets game and it started to rain at Shea, we'd run to close our windows. I used to put the kids in the double stroller and walk around the neighborhood, there was an overpass over the Van Wyck where I could stand and look north and see that familiar bright blue and orange stadium.
Alas, though I tried to raise them right, my kids ....became Yankees fans. Last weekend Jen organized a trip with her boyfriend Matt and a group of their friends, they went up to the Bronx to watch the Yankees lose to Tampa Bay.
And a few days before that, Becca was at a Yankees game with David-who-is-not-her-boyfriend.
but they come by it honestly, I guess. My mother was born and raised in the Bronx. Her first official date with my dad was to Yankee Stadium to see DiMaggio play. I think my dad knew she was "the one" even then -- how else would you get a Brooklyn boy, a born-in-the-shadow-of-Ebbets-Field fan into Yankee Stadium???
