In the Bronx

A quiet street in the Bronx in the early morning. Happy Friday, all!

Ed. Note: In the comments section, June asked about Yankee Stadium. Interestingly enough, the new stadium is pictured in this photo. However, it’s really hard to see here, so I didn’t bother mentioning it. Since she did, I’ll tell you where it is or should I make you guess first? Okay, the construction of the new Yankee Stadium is located in the middle of the photo, in between the buildings, right beneath the sun. Do you see it? June also asked about Yankee Stadium photos. I have two photos in the archives. If you missed them and are interested in seeing them, go to the CATEGORIES section and look under STADIUMS or YANKEE STADIUM. As I get the opportunity, more stadium photos will follow in the future.

Take Me Out to the Ball Game…

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?
