Twins vs Yankees

We had a fun weekend up in the Twin Cities. Eric and I went with Eric's mom & dad, Anthony, and Janel, a family friend. We left on Sat morning and came back on Sun night. We really packed a lot into those few hours. Saturday night was the Twins game against the Yankees. I hadn't been to a MLB game since I was in the 6th grade (it was a Cincinnati Reds game). It was GREAT! What energy in the Metrodome .

And having the Yankees there was even more exciting. It was fun seeing so many of the athletes that you normally hear about on TV in person. We rode the Metro train to the stadium from the Mall of America. We weren't the only ones, though -- the train was standing room only after the game. But it's really funny how friendly people are when you are standing and your armpit is right over their head. Everyone just talks like it's no big deal. It makes me wonder if it was just the spirit of the game or if it's like that because we are still in the Midwest. Makes me wonder what it's like to ride on trains in big cities like NY or Chicago. Yuck. Couldn't pay me enough to live with all those people -- but it's sure fun to visit.

We had fun making signs to hold up so that we might get circled by Bert Blylevyn, the announcer for the Twins. Alas, we got screwed, but it was fun making up the signs. Tell me which one you like the best (you'll make someone's day if you vote for the right one!) (Click on the picture to make it bigger).
