I tried to setup a shuttle time that would be late enough in case the game went long last night so I wasn’t at the airport super early. The nice thing about Tampa airport though is it is one of the few that offer free wireless internet. There is even a section in the airport where they have tables and chairs and electrical outlets right by. So many of the airports you can find chairs by outlets but it can be hard to find a table to use.
I was flying into La Guardia but my hotel was actually out towards JFK so I had to take the bus to the hotel. I arrived at the hotel around 1 and my room wasn’t ready yet, so since I hadn’t had lunch I dropped off my bags and went looking for a place to eat. By the time I got back my room was ready and I got checked in.
It wasn’t long before I had to leave for the Bronx. I wanted to make sur
e I was there as soon as the gates opened so I could take one last visit to monument park. I figured this would be the best day of the 3 to go. They usually shut down monument park about 45 mins before game time so that is why you have to show up early. Actually they usually stop letting people in prior to that b/c they want to have it cleared out by 45 mins to game time. So I got one last walk through monument park, at least as it stands. I’m not sure if they plan on transferring it over to the new ballpark or if they will be leaving it in its current location.
Tonight Travis Snider made his major league debut. His 1st AB he line out, but in his 2nd AB he hit a ball deep to straight away center that bounced over the wall for a ground rule double. He struck out looking his 3rd time up w/the Jays trailing by 1 in the 8th and runners at 1st and 2nd none out. He also made a nice leaping catch in LF by the foul line, although it looked like he took a little bit of an awkward route to get there. I didn’t like seeing him go down looking in that situation in the 8th but overall a nice debut. Making your debut in Yankee Stadium cannot be easy, but it certainly will make it even more special especially being the last season.
