History in the Bronx
As a Cardinals fan, it wasn't a good memory for me personally, but it was pretty neat to watch history. My brother, friend, and I made the trip down to Yankee Stadium from Syracuse for a weekend of Yankees vs. Cardinals games in 2003. They are both hard-core Yankee fans and I of course am I Cardinals fan.
It was a rainy day when we watched Roger Clemens wins his 300th game and record his 4,000 strikeout in the same game. He struck out Edgar Renteria for his 4,000 and Rivera came in for the save. The stadium was going nuts. I still have the ticket stub.
On a side note, it was the first game back in New York for Tino Martinez. The reception he received put shivers downs my spine.
