But on the train to the game, again. It’s a later game, but apparently will be warmer than yesterday at first pitch. I attribute my exhaustion to getting so chilled. I did some chores this morning, but hit a wall in the afternoon.
Today is the Yankees, who always draw a crowd. I am hoping the Mariners run last year will balance the supporters.
A granddaughter of a friend of ours threw out the first pitch.
5th inning. So far not quite as cold. I have a slightly heavier sweatshirt with a hood. We’re only up by one run. I don’t expect it to stand up, we need some more runs.
From 6-1/2 years ago, a warm summer afternoon game. Carl catching a home run that Judge is wasn’t quite tall enough to get.
And we made it to the 9th, when Raleigh, in his 2nd at bat for the game came through with a clutch hit. Ms win 2-1.
New pitcher, 2 hours in. I was pretty sure our 1 run lead was not going to stand up. Tie game in the 7th.
And the Yankee manager is bush league. He extends the game for no reason, by waiting until the batter is in the box, and then stopping the game to change pitchers. I’m about ready to call it a night. Still not as cold as last night.
I was starting to get really chilled again. I’m not sure I would have lasted through extra innings.
The game was made a bit more fun by texting with a Yankee fan in New York who we met at the Hall of Fame last summer. He’s hoping to make it to Seattle for a game, but the timing didn’t work out this year. He gave me an Ichiro Yankees hat at the Hall of Fame induction. Maybe I’ll wear it tomorrow.
