Baltimore Orioles, 1 @ New York Yankees 3
Stadium: Yankee Stadium
Despite getting in really late at the Henkel's the night before, they were exceptional hosts and went out of their way to make us feel welcome. They had gotten some bagels, cereal and made us eggs when we got up. Mr. Henkel provided us with maps, tour guides, and eve sprang for $1.90 bus tickets for each of us to take into the city.
We took the NJ Transit bus to New York 42nd Street bus terminal. We came out from underground and all of a sudden we were in Times Square! We walked over to Rockefeller Center and NBC Studios and decided to take a tour. We had a great time there and Christa even got to be a weatherperson for the day. Following that, we went to the top of the Empire State Building. We came back down and walked some more around Rockefeller Center. Following lunch was spent the afternoon in Central Park. It was finally time to go to the game and we hopped on the subway with the help from some friendly New Yorkers who told us which subway to get onto.
As much as I loathe the Yankees, it was great to go to a game there. We toured Monument Park in the outfield and the Yankee fans are wonderful, knowledgeable fans. Following the game we followed the mob to the subway only to be told that there was a fire down the line and all the subways were being delayed and diverted. We finally got back to the bus terminal and took the NJ Transit to right outside the Henkel's home. Looking back, all four of us have been amazed about how much of New York we stay in just one day.
