Let's Go, Yankees!

It was a picture perfect Saturday to be in the "House that Ruth built." We wanted to attend a game at the historic stadium before it is replaced in 2009. So, we dressed Pookah in his Derek Jeter jersey and official Yankee baseball cap and headed to the Bronx.

Of special note: The Yankees have been struggling this season, but isn't it interesting that they won on Saturday... could it have something to do with a very special fan attending the game... William Noel!! Probably.

Arriving at the stadium before the game!

Look at that blue sky!! Yankee Stadium!

We rode multiple escalators to get to our seats. We just walked out and saw the field!

Most Adorable Yankee Fan! (Good luck charm too!)

View from our seats during batting practice. Yankees are practicing in their blue practice jerseys. William loved watching the balls fly through the air!

Pookah family in the stands. Every fan received a NY Yankees cap upon entering the stadium.

Umpires gather at home plate as the game begins!

William had a lot of firsts at this game -- first baseball game, first French fry, first bite of cotton candy!
All were big hits (pun intended)!

"Saturday in the Park" by Chicago was playing over the PA system! The boys were clapping and dancing!

Practice is over, so the grounds crew is preparing the field for play.

Mr. Serious Baseball Fan, paging Mr. Serious Baseball Fan... please report...

Leaving the game with Dad!
We left at the end of the fifth inning. Interestingly, the outside of the stadium was filled with parents and youngsters leaving!!

Tired baseball fan walking in the parking garage to the car!
