Yankee Stadium

Andrew's in-laws sent Andrew and I and his brothers-in-law, Jon and Adam, to the Yankee game tonight at the new stadium, and it was sweet. Thank you, Neil and Paula! We had a great time. And surprise, I have a blog, read by millions of adoring fans all of the world. You're famous now. Here's a quick recap:


  • It doesn't matter that the website specifically says that backpacks are allowed, you still can't bring in your briefcase. Why were you looking at the website when the little sign outside the stadium specifically contradicts it? Luckily there's a bar nearby that has made a very clever business as a bag check.
  • When taking a walk around to check things out, you're going to need a beer for the walk. We recommend Heineken, which was surprisingly kick ass at the stadium.
  • It's amazing how under the right circumstances, $11 for a beer is a reasonable value.
  • Andrew and I tried to get away with showing only Andrew's ID by pointing out that we were identical twins. The woman looked at us, smiled and got really excited, then asked for my ID.
  • Two sausage hot dogs with onions & peppers + large nachos with everything = good idea for Andrew and Brian.
  • Apparently, Yankee fans do not like anyone wearing a Red Sox hat.
  • Baseball games are a good opportunity for Andrew and I to talk about Battles BC, potential blog posts, and how we should play a show again.
  • Johnny Damon hit a home run. This was a lot more exciting than it is on tv.
  • Tonight was a lot of fun, but damn I miss football.

Hey, my friend Conor was there last night, too! (Instead of being out at dinner with us. Hmph!) His comment was that he was disappointed to only have seen one home run. Hardeeharharharharha...sigh.

Also, with all of this "bragging" you do about how identical you & Andrew are, you should hold some sort of contest. Put a bunch of pics of you guys up & see how many of your millions of adoring readers can't figure out which one of you it is in each one. Hey! Blog post idea!

That's actually a really good idea, especially if there were baby pictures. Too bad I'll never do it.

Oh, well. Looks like you're just gonna have to take my word for it: You two are eminently distinguishable!
