Heard at the Ball Game

It was good fun celebrating my old pal Mike's birthday yesterday at Yankee's Stadium. The Yanks lost but there is nothing like watching a game there and the things you hear at the ballpark.

First there was the racist comment from the Dominicans sitting behind us. As the big man from Japan, Hideki Matsui, got up to bat, the Dominicans said in Spanish, "Ah, the yellow one."

Then a political comment came from down in front as the recording of Kate Smith singing "God Bless America" played during the 7th inning stretch. As half of the fans sang along, some wag shouts out, "They didn't find any weapons of mass destruction!"

Ah, the sounds of a day at a Yankee's game. I even heard the crack of a bat against a ball a couple of times, too.
