The excitment of going to my first Yankee was killing me while I waited those two days to go. It was during the summer of 2009 that my mom had purchased baseball tickets to go see the Yankees play the Redsox at Fenway Park. We were going with my aunt and my cousin and they happen to be Redsox fans so their was a love hate tension on the ride. We all met up at a Dunkin Donuts in Massachusettes to car pool to the game.
We arrived at 11am to Fenway park for the game that is scheduled to start at 1pm. It wasn't a nice day, it was gloomy and their was on and off rain constantly. Me and my mom split up from my aunt to go watch the yankees warm up. As we were walking aroundi noticed my favortie player was warming up , my favorite player is Joba Chamberlain. When he was done throwing he walked backed to the Yankees dug out and I was being loud and cheering for him and he walked over to me and threw me the ball he was using to warm up with. I didn't have a sharpie to get an auto graph but him giving me the ball was good enough. The yankes won that game 5-3.
I can relate to you because im a huge red sox fan and i wrote about how the redsox won two world series in 4 years. and that was extreamely exciting to me. i have only been to two games my whole life and the atmpsphere at the park is great.

This is a very detailed desciption of how you felt before the day of the game and ur excitement at the game. Some of the memory is postedin present tense and the other in past. If you made the whole story in either past or present, it would flow together much better.
ReplyDeleteI'm so jealous, I too love the Yankees, but what happended to you at the game was just really cool. There are also alot of people in my family that are Red Sox fans so I definately know what thats like. I wish I could go to a Yankees vs. Red Sox game, you'r so lucky. Sorry you couldnt get an autograph though.
ReplyDeleteI really like how you made this post a "flash back", it really made the post more interesting. I also like how you wrote about the Yankees since they are the best team in baseball. Your Grammar was spectacular and the story was impeccable. I tip my hat to you sir.
ReplyDeleteI can definitely relate with you on the account of the feeling of tension between Yankee and Redsocks fans. My family is divided up fairly evenly between the two, and it is always exciting going to a game. Whether it is in New York or Boston, we always have a skybox suite ready, and depending on who we bring with us, the arguments are always bound to brezk out!
