The story of this game was obviously the pitching of the resurgent Mike Mussina, and the continued hot hitting by Johnny Damon. Mussina went six, allowing only five hits and one run. Damon went 3-4 and sparked the lineup all night.
We ended up getting to the parking lot at 4:00PM, after about a 50 minute ride from Stony Brook. I think this is the earliest and quickest we’ve ever made it to a game.
The parking lot was empty, but at least the car shifted out of park this time.
They announced attendance of 51,151 was a little bit exaggerated.
Overall it was a pretty ho-hum game.
The seats were very similar to the Mets game.
I was down buying that $7 bag of popcorn that it is impossible to finish when Jeter got the base hit that pushed him into third on the Yankees all time hit list. Really seems weird to think that Derek Jeter is in his 13th big league season.
In the end there really wasn’t anything crazy or ridiculous that happened. But I did get a good picture of this guy…
