When I was in Japan I used to go to Koshien Stadium and Green Stadium but after I came to NY I only could go to see Cyclons last summer. And finally I could go to Yankee stadium.
I was worried about the weather since these days there were a lot of rain. But yesterday was the perfect night for the ball game!!!
I went there around 5:15 and saw their practice before the game which is my custom of going to stadium.
So I had a ticket upper level but while practicing I could go to close to the field.
And until my coworkers coming I enjoyed walking around in the stadium.
My impression of stadium is just so BEAUTIFUL!!!
And also I was surprised that most of them were Yankee's fan. There were only few fans of Athletics.
In Japan usually there is at least 15% of audience are away team fans even at Koshien. (Hanshin Tigers fans are special as a Yankees... but still not this much... lol)
And the interesting thing I saw was the Yankee fans always threw the home run ball of Athletics back to the field. And if the person who got ball didn't do that, audiences shouted to do so... It was strange moment... lol
But what made me happy is still Hideki Matsui from Athletics is so popular there. The only one who is Athletics player could get cheer in that stadium was Hideki Matsui.
The game was started with not excitement and Athletics got points just by home runs. And Yankees was so quiet. But last two innings were so exciting. They played so well and made us really excited. And that moment I knew how Yankee fans were special.
Here are some pictures I tool at stadium. Enjoy:)
