I’m still recovering from last night – left the Stadium at 2 am and got home at 3:30. But a quick snapshot of the last several days.
From Saturday through Tuesday, the tally for me is:
- 2 stadiums (Yankee & Shea)
- 4 games
- 40.875 innings (two 8 1/2 inning games, one 9 inning, and one 14 5/6)
- I don’t know how many players, pitches, etc.
- 6 hours waiting in lines for autographs at FanFest
- 4 HOF autographs (Earl Weaver, Orlando Cepeda, Juan Marichal, & Gary Carter)
- 3 children of HOFers met (Mantle’s sons and Jackie Robinson’s daughter)
- Several Team USA autographs
- I think a dozen hot dogs and eight beers
- Almost 1,000 pictures taken (which will be reduced to probably 150 once I go through them)
- One new David Wright jersey (home, blue pinstripe, with Shea patch, size 44)
- An undisclosed amount spent on souveneirs
- About 28 hours total of baseball activities
(And last night’s 15 inning adventure was my SECOND 15 inning game this month. I saw one at SafeCo a few weeks ago too.)
I think I need a few days for everything to sink in but man, did I enjoy this weekend.
