New York – Statue of Liberty round II, Baseball.

With my last full day in New York I decided to get some more shots of the Statue of Liberty and get along to a Yankees Baseball game. I made the Stautan Island Ferry no problems and as you can see the weather was much better for photographs. I also took some video this time as well. I'm a little bummed I did not get into the statue but Crown tickets are booked out for 3 months ahead and even normal tickets to the island are booked out for a month or so.

Next I headed to Yankee stadium. Unfortunately I missed half the game because the ticket company I booked my tickets with, emailed me the tickets but did not tell me they had so I spent an hour wandering around trying to find somewhere in the Bronx to print out my tickets. Eventually I managed to get someone in the ticket office to log into my email and print it out. Then my bag was too big. I had to go to a store to get them to hold it for me. I should have taken my camera stuff out to take some pictures at the game but I didn’t want to run around with my cameras on display, so I have no pictures from the game. I got in about 6th innings which was ok considering there had only been a couple of home runs for the previous 5 innings. Then the Yankee put on a show managing 9 home runs in the 7th inning smashing the Tigers.

After the game and retrieving my bag I decided to get a few pictures out the front of the stadium. While pulling my camera gear out a guy asks me about my Torana tshirt and cap. He was an Aussie who was living and working in America. We talked cars for a while (He was a Ford man).
