The Yankees lost 12-5
It wasn’t even really that close. They were losing 12-3 in the top of the eighth when Bobby Abreu hit a 2 run homer. But it was still a good game. I thought some of the Pirates fans were going to have heart attacks because there was so much action. I kept thinking that I hope they had gotten extra life insurance before the game. There was so much hype surrounding the game which made for a really fun night. I just wish I could get tickets to tonight or tomorrow night’s game. The only seats they have left are the standing room only seats and I’m not about to buy those.
The game was a sell-out with over 38,000 people in attendance. There were empty seats but I think the sro people made up the difference. Most of those empty seats were scalper seats. They were out in full effect before the game trying to unload their tickets. One guy had a huge stack of tickets and most of them were decent seats. That really burns me up. I don’t care about people re-selling seats or even buying them to sell later at a profit. But when you have more than 10 seats, that’s just wrong. I hope they all take a loss. There are plenty of people that wanted to go but couldn’t get seats because these guys were hogging up all of the seats.
Whew! Enough ranting. It was a fun time and I can’t wait to do it again. Hopefully I’ll see the Yankees at least 1 more time before the summer is out.
