The gift that keeps on giving

Last night, my oldest son Joey and I went to Yankee Stadium to see the Bombers play the Angels. The night started out ominous. On the train ride down from Poughkeepsie, it was pouring sheets of rain.

When we got to the Bronx, it was raining sideways. The walk from the train station to the stadium was like walking through a small stream. But by the time we got into the Stadium, the rain subsided. Miraculously, despite about 2 inches of rain, the game started on time.

It was a long and entertaining game with a less-than-positive result. But once again, there are rarely bad days at the ballpark, and last night was no exception. We even saw current team captain Tommy Lipari, who was there with his family. Tommy came and visited us in Section 234 as the Yankees rallied to tie the game in the bottom of the seventh inning.

We were able to attend the game thanks to the generous StubHub gift certificate given by graduating senior parents. It is truly the gift that keeps on giving … thank you.
