Chris and I took the train to the city, and then hopped on the subway for the 130 block ride north to THE Stadium. For some reason, I completely forgot that I would have to battle several flights of stairs before actually making it above ground. It took me a long time to get up those stairs. I did about five at a time and then stopped because I was still very dizzy and pretty sick. Oops.
We got to the game, and it was the sunniest 3 hours of my entire life. The sun set right in our faces from the hours of 4-7 as the Yankees played against the Detroit Tigers. It wasn't the most exciting game, but the Yankees did win.
The best part about this trip was a vendor working in the bleachers who I will never forget. He was homosexual and had probably been smoking cigarettes since his fourth birthday. In a voice that I can almost reproduce, he shouted "LEMON ICE!!!" throughout the bleachers. The bleacher creatures thought this was hilarious, and a few people made fun of him. Lemon Ice Man heard them and yelled at them...calling them FOOLS. It was hilarious.
Afterward, we took the subway from the Bronx back to Midtown Manhattan. We had some dinner and fooled around at the Virgin Records store. I picked up a Green Day and a Lil' John and the East Side Boys album for dirt cheap, and Chris tried out a new look and even met Spongebob!
