Hosive

as the playoffs finally approach, i’ll be documenting the last few games i got to go to as part of my mini plan to the first season at the new yankee stadium before they become entirely irrelevant(the games not the yankees).  but no worries to non sports fans! i will likely focus more on ballpark food than the games.

i bought josiah to his first new yankee stadium game in an obvious attempt to usurp his father’s authority. after a few disappointing innings with joba, we went to get some nachos and get some different views around the ballpark. josiah knew exactly what he wanted in terms of grub.

he was disappointed to learn that the meat only came with the deluxe nachos and decided not to upgrade. when the lady was making his order, the manager came over….and i think he thought josiah was younger than he was….and asked if he wanted the topping on the house! josiah politely accepted but the lady looked over to double check if she heard correctly. the manager winked and nodded the go ahead….so josiah got a bonus on his cheese nachos.

he declined on free jalapenos.

the game was a laugher but josiah wanted to stay until the bitter end. i complied. who can say no to a kid in the summertime?

then the yankees started coming back and cut the lead to 1 in the bottom of the ninth with the tying run and winning run on base with nobody out. but a botched bunt and a line drive, bang bang double play left us with unexpected heartache.

or maybe that was from the “meat” in the nachos.
