Its summer Friday again and this weekend I am joined by my cousin Charlotte! She spent the morning cramming in as much sightseeing/shopping as possible even in this sweltering heat and then still found the energy to make it to the Staten Island Yankee game this evening. The ferry over to the island is free which is a huge bonus as you skim past the statue of liberty and can enjoy the view of the Manhattan skyline. All week we have been looking forward to buying foam fingers to cheer on the Yankees with but sadly they did not seem to be as enthusiastic as we were and didn't sell them however the hotdogs and beer were spot on as was the entertainment from the 'cow' mascots throughout the game...t-shirt tossing competitions, ball tossing competitions, embarrassing 70's dance off on the pitch and 'cutest child' competition.
The whole experience was completely bizarre but amazing, it felt we were in a movie with the baseball game taking place in front of a backdrop of one of the most famous skylines on the planet. Then to top it off, a pretty impressive firework display. Generally, we have concluded that baseball is not the most entertaining sport however the experience was definitely not something to be missed...
