    my son wants to stay until the end but I m a beat the traffic type guy lol    Gonna be a battle.  
    you son is right, especially since two days ago they were no-hit into the eighth, trailed by five and wound up winning.
    I think the both of you are right lol.  So wait a  half hour after last pitch and we are good? 
    yep, there are a number of benches right outside the stadium and some eateries that aren't bars by the stadium.

    My dad was a "beat the traffic guy" back in the day. This was in the mid to late 70s, at Wrigley, when there was only 5000 people in the park. We were literally only a 20 minute drive from home. Yet dear old dad had to leave in the 7th, to beat traffic.

    I hate the Yankees. But being in that stadium, yes the new one, is still a great way to spend time. Watching baseball (add James Earl Jones voice). It takes the whole day to go to a game. Do you have something better to do? I go once or twice a year. Get out of the house and see a game. Wherever.

    As a young man, a Cubs fan, I decided I needed another team to cheer for. It was a no brainer. I decided to be a Yankees fan. 
    Why not be a fan of the greatest franchise in professional sports? 

    Unless your from Boston, I see no reason to hate the Yankees. Haha

    I grew up just north of the line in CT that got Yankees games. We got Bruins, Celtics and the Sox. TV 38 for you Massholes. I guess there is a gray area in CT that could go Yankees or Sox. Like I said, it is still a great day at the ballpark. But its not Fenway. Not even close.

    Hating the Yankees?

    Its  kinda, and I said KINDA, like hating Tom Brady. Yes I know, one is a team, one is a quarterback. 

    But why hate Brady? All the guy ever did was be the greatest fucking player in NFL history(my opinion). Why not jump on the bandwagon all those years, and cheer the fucking guy on? 

    Brady winning Super Bowls and The Yankees winning World Series? Its all good as far as I am concerned.

    If you have any true appreciation for sports, you cannot hate Brady. Only Montana is in that conversation. I am a New Yorker at heart and I like to see all the teams win. But I wear my bosox cap to the stadium. I guess it it similar to being a Cubs fan. Great old fashioned ballparks and probably the best two places in America to drink beer. I think the Orioles get an honorable mention.

    Cubs-Yankees World Series would be super interesting. Plus the Cubs are due to win a few games in that after 1932 and 1938.

    Yeah, as a kid I always wanted to see Muhammad Ali lose. I wanted Frazier to beat him, Norton, Jimmy Young, Spinks, etc. 

    As I grew older, and read the history of Ali, I was like, " What the hell am I thinking"? Hahahaha

    They could play the Brewers or the Diamondbacks and the price of the World Series tickets would be high, though not as high if it was Dodgers, Mets or Cubs.

    You are so correct.
    And the middleweight division back in the day, rivaled the Heavyweights. Great, great boxers. 

    Right now I could not tell you the champion of any division. Not 1.

    My dad was the opposite. We didn't leave regardless of the score. It could be 20-0 in the 7th, and we would stay until the end of the game.

    When dad started taking the grandkids to the game, my nieces, everything changed. They basically told my dad to "pound sand".
    They stayed until the end, period!

    Thanks to the Cubs TV announcers, I have come up with a nickname for Judge. After that horrendous error in the World Series last year, I will now forever call him CLANK.

    I don't care if he is, right now, the best hitter in the game.

    I will forever call him CLANK.
