Gardner tried, Jeter fouled off a pitch. Uggla was keeping Gardner close to the bag, which is why he was in the position to make the dp so easily

I hope you got him/her one of those great tiny pinstriped outfits! “Onesies” I believe they are called…

Poor kid RE: the loud sound system. Perhaps a nice clean baseball to gnaw on could have been in order.

I could use one of those from time to time as well! I’ve outgrown the “Onesies” though… finally!

: )

No….

People can learn from reading williamnyy23′s posts:

[39] …With Bonifacio creeping in on the bunt attempt, Gardner would have had a good chance to steal 3B even without a good jump.

There were multiple ways for Gardner to score.

Children who are less than 30 inches tall and can walk freely under the turnstile or are carried into Yankee Stadium do not need a ticket for entry. However, the child must sit on an adult¹s lap during the game without obstructing the view of any other guests.

Checking the stroller was a bit of challenge, only inasmuch as the location is to the far RF side of the great hall, but we were sitting on the opposite side of the stadium.

If I had it to do over again, I would have kept the stroller and stayed in the concourse for the first inning or two, then asked the security staff if we could occupy the unused handicapped seating, with the child in the stroller. I’m not sure if they would have let me, but I bet they would have relented.

There is a guest services outpost in LF as well, but it was small and they did not seem set up for checking bags, strollers, etc.

I thought from the beginning that they had made improvements but had a lot of question marks, and also that they play in the toughest division. The optimist in me predicted they would win the division (and I am still guardedly optimistic on this front), the pessimist said they would be in a fight for the WC, which is right where they are now.

I never envisioned 100 wins, but thought 95 was more reasonable. They are on pace for 91 wins (I made an arithmetic error above), but their pythagorean win percentage only projects out to about 89 wins. That is indeed a bit disappointing, but only by a couple of games. Surely not enough to warrant repeated calls for the coaching staff to be fired, charges of organizational incompetence, repeatedly calling their performance unacceptable, etc. (And no, I am not saying that you are the one saying all of these things).

That’s all I am saying.

Did the family you attended the game at NYS with have to purchase a Field Level Ticket for their small child?

I’m sorry, then. I have misunderstood the tone and contents of your many posts that seemed to describe the Sox in elevated terms.

So if I understand correctly, the Yankees play in an AL with no great teams at all?
