12:29: It turns out it’s hat day. What do I do with a Yankees hat?! Also, while only Minnesota, Oakland, and Cincinnati stadiums have won the hot dog condiment gold (for having sauerkraut), Yankee Stadium really comes up short in this realm. They have ketchup, mustard… and that’s it. I wanted relish, damn it!
1:30: Just for the record, from my angle Marcus Thames slid right by home plate without touching it. Unfortunately, the ump didn’t see it from my angle and the Yanks are up 2-0.
