I’m a huge baseball fan and have spent most of my summers at
the ballpark watching a game. So when CAB was offering $10 tickets to see the
Yankees take on the Red Sox over at Yankee Stadium, I was absolutely thrilled.

My friends and I were fortunate enough to win tickets to one
of the two games CAB offered to see baseball’s most legendary rivalry. It was a
cold, Friday night in early April. Since it was my first time at the new Yankee
Stadium, we explored the ballpark and its upgraded amenities for a while before
getting some food and taking our seats in the bleachers in the outfield. All
Fordham students in attendance got FREE Yankees hats as well, which was a great
treat.
The game was really exciting; in fact, there was a problem
with the lights in the middle of the game, causing a fifteen-minute delay while
the issue got resolved, and the game even went into extra innings – twenty innings
in total compared to the typical nine. Unfortunately, my friends and I opted to
leave around the thirteenth inning as the night was only getting later and
colder, and, since it’s only about a fifteen-minute ride on the D train back to
Fordham Road, it was easy getting back to campus. The Red Sox ended up winning,
so it was probably better we didn’t stick around anyway.

Though I am a big fan of the Philadelphia Phillies, it was a
lot of fun getting to see two of baseball’s biggest team go head-to-head in a
seemingly never-ending game. I have one more year left living in the Bronx, so
I hope I get to attend more Yankees games in the future.
