Looking Above #8

It can sometimes get overwhelming to look up and see all these looming buildings but it’s also fascinating to think about its construction and design.

Looking Above #7

Despite the tall buildings in midtown, one can still look up and enjoy the beauty of the sky. There are no obstructions.

Pigeon Watch

This pigeon watched me as I watched it and slowly pulled out my camera. We had a staring contest of sorts but she didn’t fly away.

Take Me Out to the Ball Game…

June 27, 2008 | Filed Under Stadiums, The Bronx, Yankee Stadium | 14 Comments

Take me out to the ball game,
Take me out with the crowds;
Buy me some peanuts and Cracker Jack,
I don’t care if I never get back.
Let me root, root, root for the home team,
If they don’t win, it’s a shame.
For it’s one, two, three strikes, you’re out,
At the old ball game.

Take Me Out to the Ball Game (Chorus)

– Jack Norworth & Albert Von Tilzer

Unofficial baseball anthem

Yes, baseball is supposed to be an American national pastime but I’ve never been to a ball game. Not one.

However, I’ve passed by both baseball stadiums (Yankee and Shea) several times. I took this photo of Yankee stadium just recently. This is the old stadium. Next to it, a new stadium is being built. It’s weird to see the two stadiums side by side. I wonder what’s going to happen to the old stadium after the new one is completed. I wonder if they’ll tear it down.

Have any of you been to a baseball game?
