The Bronx Bombers

One of my goals while in NYC was to visit all five boroughs. Coming up with stuff to see in some of them was a bit of a challenge. I didn't know anything about the Bronx, so I wound up heading for Yankee Stadium. I arrived right in the middle of a game, so I tried to get back out of there in a hurry before the game let out. The picture above is the old stadium, the one that's been there since the twenties. Right across the street is the new stadium, scheduled to open next year. At least I can say I was there. Later that day, by complete accident, I wound up at Shea Stadium, home of the Mets. More on that later.
