Gonna go to the Yanks game tonight, thanks to a guy my Dad works for and he's getting us tickets right behind the Yanks dugout, so I might be on TV. Gonna wear a Yankees hat, a shirt that on the front that says "got rings?" (basically like got milk) and a pair of shorts. I'll probably have a glove and a ball, which might end up getting signed.
Should be a Yankee win with The Moose pitching tonight.

Scratch that, we're sitting right behind home plate in the 7th row, scout seats, in section 131. Check it out on the field: http://chicago.white...ark_seating.jsp

those are some good ass seats. Hope you get mad autos from a lot of Yankee players.

Nice Seats! sucks that there is a rain delay tho..

[smallguy]

I think I saw you. Did you have to stand up in the top of the 2nd becuase some guy in a green shirt had to get back to his seat.

Well yesterday kicked ass, even though we lost. We got there when the Yankees were doing batting practice, I stood right near where the net thing ends by the first base dugout (the Yankees one).
Actually there weren't alot of fans wanting autos, maybe around 75, usually there's more like 150, but no one came, but I remember Giambi looked like he wanted to sign for people, he kept looking at us, smiling and waving, but he was late so he didn't hae as miuch time, but he signed like 5 things for some people with their arms in the dugout.
I kept calling for Cano, and at first he gave me these weird looks, more like glares. But what stood out was everytime he went in the on deck circle in the game, he looked right at me, not in a mean or nice way, but he did look at me. But no one signed.
So right after BP, when the groundskeepers were clearing the fields, it rained, and they bought out the tarp. But this place comes with all the goodies (you're paying $180 for tickets, but of course, we didn't have to pay a penny for it ) so we get to go in a special restaurant where they had a buffet with AMAZING food and food choices. I remeber when I went up there the first of my 3 trips, I saw Kenny Williams, the Sox GM, talking to some other guy. And then when I was coming back from my first trip, I saw a sign that said Ron Kittle, Moose Skowron, and Dan Paqua were there. The guy who gave us the tickets said they were here to sign. I grabbed my ball and went right to Skowron, since I know he was the Yanks 1st baseman from 1954 as a rookie to sometime until he got traded to the Sox in the 60s. There were 4 guys in front of me, and Moose was smiling and laughing with them, he's a good guy. So I asked him about the Yanks and he said whenever someone asks about the Yanks he has to say the Sox since he's still under contract with them, but he won 4 World Series rings with the Yanks so he really liked them better. But he also told me Mickey Mantle was the coolest guy on the team and when I asked him about Whitey Ford he told me just saw him last week and hes doing good. He's a great guy and has perfect penmanship.
The food was delicious and we stood outside the Yanks clubhouse doing 2 things. Waiting for them to come out with their cell phones and waiting for the rain to stop. But it was cool since it's all inclusive, you can go anywhere, and I was constantly going back and fourth from the tunnel we were in to the field, and on one trip, about 10 minutes before gametime, I walked over there for one last look, a door swings open behind me, and Ozzie Guillen steps out. So I was walking side to side with him, afraid to say anything (he might call me a fuc*ing *beep* and spit on me) for about 5 seconds, which was really cool...and nerveracking.
But we finally got the game started, and I rember right before it when the annoncer was like "WHITE SOX FANS GET ON YOUR FEET!!!" I sat down, and Derek Jeter was standing there, looking in my general direction. I waved at him, gave him a thumbs up and said "Yo da man!!!" and he gave a small grin at me.
But the game was good (had to take a break in the sixth to get some desert at the buffet ), I remember when Cabrera hit that moon shot to right I waved my rally towel around. I'll say this, lotta drunks. Exciting though, right to the end. I hope the we can do this again, cause the guy who gave us the tickets is a season ticket holder (for those seats and everyting with it, and for 4 seats, that's $50000). Can't wait till next time!!!
But Smallguy, that may have been me, there was a guy with a green shirt in our row but IDK if he ever stood up. But an old friend from NY called my Dad around the 4th inning said she saw us.
Sorry for one long ass post.
And I forgot to mention, I saw Sidney Ponson on his cell when were going to eat, he was just standing outside the clubhouse. And Minie Minoso was standing right in our section, but he left after awhile.

You should have talked to Ozzie man, at least you know he'd reply and I doubt he'd mouth off at a kid like you. If you said something to him like: "I agree Jay Mariotti is a f*g" then he'd probably have spoke to you.
You're one lucky kid though getting all of that for free.

I know Smeds, I got lucky, buthey, had to have the right Dad to know this guy too.
Here's a pic of what the my Moose signed ball looks like (but this is just some Ebay person's):
