Friday was Opening Day for the Staten Island Yankees, and so I trekked out to Richmond County Bank Ballpark for the first time in 2010. While I am in no way a fan of Staten Island the borough (who is?), I am a huge fan of minor league baseball. I try to make opening day [...]

The ALDS Game 1 Experience (Picture Post)
I went to the game last night with my mother. It ruled. Here are the pictures I took.
Important Facts Learned At Yankee Stadium
At Yankee Stadium the first time a player comes up to the bat, or when nothing is going on offensively in a game, the Armitron (that’s the giant TV screen thing in the middle of the place) usually displays some important fascinating fact about him since there’s nothing to note about the game so far.

Big Boats and Old Timers
I had a busy baseball weekend. After getting home later than expected on Friday night, thanks to the hour long rain delay I went home and got a few hours sleep than ran over to Staten Island in the morning for their mini Old Timer’s day which is a nice and cute thing, wasted a [...]
Badly Photographed Scenes From A Rain Delay
On Friday I thought about leaving early to avoid the rain. I feel no shame in admitting this as I’ve been rained on at plenty of baseball games across several levels this year already. But then I got caught up in everything going on and didn’t. I could have left as soon as it went [...]
How I Spent The July 4th Weekend
I realize it’s July 7th now, but sometimes life gets in the way of blog posts. But I can never resist posting the random photos I take while at games. On July 3rd, I made my way to Yankee Stadium for their series opener against the Blue Jays. There were a lot of red hats, [...]
The Staten Island Yankees Home Opener (And More)
It’s June! Short Season A started a few weeks ago and although the original Staten Island home opener (and my first game of the year there) got rained out on the 20th, I decided I wanted to go to on the 25th which happened to be the new date for the home opener. And then [...]
Two Nights Even Drunk Idiots Couldn’t Ruin
My baseball marathon for the week ended last night. Unlike the team itself I have an off day today before going again on Friday which is good, because I need to do laundry. The crowd on Tuesday (at least in my section) was hands down one of the most annoying I have dealt with, ever, [...]
A New Day, A New View
Last night I went to the Twins game with my friend the Minnesota fan who came to town to see his team and the new stadium. Thanks to the way the ticket market is going right now, I was able to get two seats in 227B (Main Level), Row 18 on the cheap as I [...]
This Weekend at Yankee Stadium (In Pictures)
Continuing my catalog of views in New Yankee Stadium, here are my seats from the two games I attended this weekend. While some of the Upper Deck infield views are no longer as awesome as they used to be, the Outfield is much improved. You can now see the whole field pretty well, though the [...]
Windy with a chance of dingers.
