Witnessing History
We had tickets for Friday's game. Needless to say were were a bit bummed with the rainout. The tickets we had for Friday, however, were not bought. My son-in-law got them from a work associate. As it turned out, that work associate was using the tickets for those seats on Saturday, but he gave us others that actually turned out better. Field level, but out of the sun. Seeing it unfold in person was unbelievable. 3000th hit, a 5-hit game, the winning RBI and a Yankee win. The kid who caught the ball was very honest and classy. It was basically a perfect day. The only bummer was the line for Monument Park was too long, so my daughters didn't get to see it.
I can only imagine how much extra income the team made yesterday from Jeter commemorative merchandise. I estimate it was at least $2 million. We spent $80 on two t-shirts and a magazine and most of the 48,000+ people there had at least that much stuff.
