2001 2002 2003 2004 2009 2015 2017 2019 2021 2023 2024 Miscellaneous to return here.

I will be providing remarks about pictures presented here, as well as the influence baseball has been to me. I would have to initially state that my Uncle Bernie was the primary reason in my starting to follow baseball and the Yankees, in particular. Bernie returned from the 2nd World War in late 1945. He began to work for his father's (my mother's father too) Wholesale business soon after that. Since we lived above the store, I would see him every weekday and 1/2 a day on Saturday. We picked orders, but mostly delivered them together. During baseball season - roughly April to October - we would always listen to Yankee games on the car radio.
I even began doing box scores when listening at home to games. And, on several occasions my uncle and I went to games at Yankee Stadium. When I was older, I went to games at Yankee Stadium with friends. Personal cameras with some semblance of quality were not really available till I was about 20 years old. So I probably do not have any photos from my early visits to any ballpark. I may be able to find some in my completing scanning old photos - although unlikely.

July 24, 1983 - Pine Tar Incident

The first baseball photos that I currently have happen to be from an infamous game known as the Pine Tar Incident. The photos below are after a home run was hit with a runner on base and it was nullified as the Yankee manager showed the umpires that the home run hitter's (George Brett of Kansas City) bat had excessive pine tar. The ruling was subsequently overturned and the game completed 25 days later with Kansas City winning 5-4. The last photo is me in a shirt that Brett got me commemorating this game, I wore at a Dodger game (see 2023 post below).

July 22, 1984 - Yankee Stadium

This is a ticket from a game attended in 1984. It was a 6-5 walk-off victory for the Yankees - box score shown below.

August 13, 1988 - Fenway Park

Over the years, Brett, Joey and I traveled to see baseball games (as baseball fans) in all of the major league stadiums (well, Joey missed a few, and new stadiums have been built that we haven’t yet visited) . It started kind of innocently on a trip to Maine in 1988 to a sailing ship cruise. Louise got us tickets for a game at Fenway Park in Boston on our way driving up to Maine. It was a very hot summer and I remember sitting in the sun on the 3rd base side and sweltering, watching a long Red Sox - Tigers high scoring game. Detroit - in 1st place at the time - took the lead 4-3 in the top of the sixth. But the Red Sox answered with 13 runs in the 6th to 8th innings. We anxiously awaited the shade that was coming our way in the later innings.
I had an itinarary of all the games that we went to over the years, but I had a hard drive crash and lost them all. The only itinerary sheet that documented the games is included with the games in 1990 below. Brett and Joey said that they had some details that they may get to me but they apparently do not have any. A lot of the pics, and all of the tickets are from what Brett had saved. Some of the games were part of a larger trip. As such, they Have been posted in my regular Photo pages. These are added to in what follows with tickets and/or other baseball scores or memorabilia.

1989 - August Trip

As with the photos from the 1988 trip, these are mostly pics of the parks themselves. At the time, such pics were not that commonly available. But with the advent in the 1990s of the Internet, such pics became much more common. Later on, more pictures of us with stadiums in the background are used.
When I accidentally went the wrong way in the parking lot in Toronto, we ran into Mookie Wilson (who we knew from his time in NY with the Mets) - see pic 57. Noteworthy, too, was the Yankee-Detroit Old Timer's Day in Detroit. Also. some side trips were to see family, a museum (and Le Peep) in Milwaukee, Detroit's Renaissance Center and Wally World. Wally World in London, Ontario, Canada was a water park (with warm tubs and batting cages, plus). And we also made a brief, but interesting, visit to Cooperstown and the Baseball Hall of Fame.

1990 - August Trip

    Before each baseball trip that we took I used to prepare an itinerary. I would list hotel costs on my copy, but not on copies for Brett and Joey. I lost my computer copies when I had computer trouble many years ago. So far the only itinerary copy available (from Brett) is the first pic here. We followed the itineraries very closely. With tickets that Brett had saved, these are pretty good proof of games that we saw. If these 2 pics are compared it can be seen that Riverfront Stadium and Atlanta County Fulton Stadium tickets are missing.
   From the itinerary it can be seen that I booked stays at a variety of places (including Sheraton, Ramada, Best Western, Quality Inn). In later trips I tried to stay at the Choice Hotel brand, as they offered a big choice and many of their places were new. I always booked places that had pools. A typical day for us, in our travels, involved me getting up first and going for a swim and then showering, Brett typically showered after me and Joey showered at night. This had some relevance in certain years below. We also always asked for a rollaway bed that we took turns using.
   Noteworthy in the baseball venues: It was very hot for the game in Arlington (97 F at game time) so we stayed a little cool by going to a waterpark before the game and coming over in our bathing suits. It was hot also in Houston, but very humid too. We got to the Astrodome before the gates opened and tried to be cooler by standing in a sliver of shade. And in Baltimore we did meet and get the Yankee Manager, Stump Merrill's autograph (see pic 33).
   For side trips: We saw the St. Louis Arch. We saw relatives who grilled us a meal and rushed us to Royal Stadium in Kansas City. We drove through Oklahoma and I even swam in a very hot lake. We went to Galveston where it was 100 F and 100% humidity. It was so hot that Brett and Joey wouldn't get out of the car at the 1877 Tall Ship Elissa. We took a ferry, and visited New Orleans. We used water skis in the Gulf of Mexico and went on the beach in Pensacola, Florida.  In Pensacola we ate at a hotel. When I went to the Mens Room, Joey playfully shut the lights . While I knew it was him, someone sitting in one of the stalls did not think it was too funny.

1991 - May, June Trip

    This trip involved a lot of cross-country driving. Brett and I left New Jersey in his old 1981 T-top Camaro that I had started to drive. He was unhappy about my using it (as was Joey). We drove to Florida and caught a game at Tropicana Field. It was very hot there, but it is a domed stadium. When we left I saw a sign for Clearwater, FL and wanted to go there. But Brett said we had better get going. We did drive along the Florida panhandle and I stopped at Grayton Beach. Hayley had sent me a writeup at one time that listed this beach as a top one in the US. On the web - 'the beach! Named as the most beautiful beach in America by “Dr. Beach” in 2020'.   Brett was in the water at this gorgeous beach and didn't want to get out.
   We finally did continue towards New Orleans. Do not recall if we stayed near New Orleans, but we did need to get to Dallas Airport to pick up Joey to continue on our trip. We got to the airport on time, but Joey's flight was first delayed and then cancelled. With a new flight being several hours later, we weren't sure whether to continue onto Seattle as planned or go directly to California and try to catch an NBA playoff game there. When we were unable to get NBA tickets, we stuck with our original plans. We went on to Oklahoma City where I left the Camaro and got a larger car (making Brett and Joey happy).
   Unsure of where we next stopped, but we headed to Boise, Idaho where we saw my friend John Scussel and his wife Nancy. We then went to Seattle for an evening game. When we left there the next mornig, we made a stop in Tacoma where a bridge (called Galloping Gertie) had collapsed when it was windy. Since I was doing some work on bridges, I was interested in seeing this location. It was off the beaten path so when we got close to the coast in Oregon, Brett turned to the main roads to save time. Brett and I made up for this 10 years later when we were in Oregon. We did stop at a shop before then where there were many cats.
   We went on to see games in Oakland, San Franciisco, San Diego, and LA (Dodgers and Angels). While there were my (and Brett's) relatives that we visited, these photos are on my general page and not all included here. In Oakland, it was a nice and sunny day game. At Candlestick Park (der Schtick), for an evening game, it was very cold and windy. I was wearing sandals but more than my feet were freezing. I went into the clubhouse after a few innings and watched the game from there, Brett and Joey soon followed. There were people going around selling blankets for $125 and they had takers for that price. The weather was delightful in games in Southern California.
   Besides the trip to Tacoma, and seeing relatives and friends, we went to Disneyland. The usual, except for a water fight on the Pirates of the Caribbean ride.
   After California we made a stop in Las Vegas and then on to Winslow and Phoenix, AZ. We saw friends Isabelle and Gerry
in Phoenix. Joey visited a gym there where Isabelle had membership. I had back trouble and Isabelle and Gerry's son Glenn - who is a Chiropractor - helped my back. Brett and Joey flew back home from there and I flew back to Oklahoma City. I drove the Camaro home from there. I believe I stopped to see friends near Cincinnati and in Columbus.

1992 - August Trip

   Without the 'Itineraries' it's hard to fully identify all trip stops. In this year, as in 2002, I believe that Joey and I started our trip with Brett joining us later. We began in Cleveland and Brett joined us in Detroit. We then went down to Chicago where we caught a day game at Wrigley and a night game at Comiskey. This was the first time Joey got to see Wrigley as he missed the game Brett and I saw there in 1989. While Wrigley is one of my favorite parks, Joey doesn't seem to feel the same.
   Our last stop on this trip was in Montreal. This is a long drive from Chicago and perhaps we did see some other game(s) along that ride. I'm unsure if the following happened on this trip but did want to include it somewhere in our trip stories. We got to the place where we were staying fairly late. Joey put on the TV and went to take his shower. There was a call from the front desk asking us to change our room. They didn't explicitly say it, but apparently the TV was on loud and someone in a neighboring room had complained. Brett suggested that we take everything out of the room, and move to the other room, which we did. After setting up in the new room, we finally went to our old room where Joey was wrapped in a towel laying on one of the beds. He didn't seem to be that upset about being 'abandoned' - maybe he saw the humor of it.
   It was difficult to get directions to Olympic Stadium once we were in Montreal (remember, no GPS's then). Natives were reluctant to talk to anyone not French (they checked our license plate) but someone did finally help us in broken English. It certainly was not a favorite stadium of ours.
    We did get to see my nephew Jeffrey and visit his furniture store in Chicago. We played some tennis with Jeffrey - perhaps on this trip.

1993 - July Trip

    We started this trip in Baltimore's Camden Yards, which had opened the previous year. This stadium started a wave of 'neotraditional' ballparks. Boog’s Barbeque is an iconic food stand famous for massive, charcoal-grilled pit beef, pork, and turkey sandwiches behind the center-field concourse. Do not remember if we ate there. I believe Joey didn't join us until we went to Dallas.
    From there we went on to Atlanta (and its Fulton County Stadium) and then to Miami and the recently opened Joe Robbie Stadium. Then we were off to Dallas and the nearby The Park in Arlington. This stadium had a similar feeling to Camden Yards.
   Next was Denver where we went to Mile High Stadium. The 'East Stands' were engineered to slide 145 feet on a sheet of water. This allowed the venue to easily reconfigure between a horseshoe shape for football and a wider oval to accommodate a full-sized baseball diamond. Pic 21 is right field.
   Brett had to get back to work, and Joey and I travelled back home from Denver. When we were driving in Kansas on Interstate 70, we passed Royal Stadium where there was a game Starting. A man asked Joey if he was there with his father, and Joey said 'no, his uncle'. The man's son could not make the game and he wanted to give the seats he had to a father-son, Bur he did give them to us. Turned out to be in the 2nd row behind home plate. Hence the close-up in Pic 19.
   We did stay overnight in St. Louis where it was very hot. Joey threw his towel over the air conditioner after swimming. This caused the air conditioner to freeze over. It was very difficult to get to sleep. I finally fell asleep, but Joey woke me up complaining that it was so hot. I guess I snapped at him that it wasn't nice that he woke me up to tell me that. Anyhow, Joey called the front desk who told him there was no other room available, but they could send maintenance up to replace the a/c unit. I was dreaming that there was a maintenance man fixing the a/c while it was actually happening. Joey must have felt bad as he bought me a music cassette the next day.
   When it came to getting home, we were several hours from home, and I wanted to continue to get there. But Joey wanted us to stop. I found a non-brand motel that we stayed at. Joey watched movies for a long time, and we got home the next day.
We did get to see Joey's relatives near Dallas, and Brett and my relatives near Denver.

1994 - Trip

   Again, without the itineraries it's difficult to know exactly where we went. I do believe, however that we went on a short trip this year. Initially we went to Atlanta's Fulton County Stadium. When we arrived there, there were people sitting in our seats, They graciously said that they would leave. Joey said something like "You bet you will." or something a little stronger. Turned out they were the people who had provided the tickets to us (through Louise).
   The other stadium we went to I believe to be that of Baltimore's Camden Yards. I only remember needing to get to a bathroom after leaving the game and stopping at a gas station. It was an emergency similar to one Joey had experienced in 1991 in Los Angelos. We were staying near a Chinese Restaurant there that said bathrooms only for customers - but they ket Joey in for his emergency.
   No visits to any relatives/friends on this trip.

September 21, 1997 - Yankee Stadium

We didn't go on any more trips with the 3 of us (Brett, Joey ad me) until 1998. But Brett and I got to a game near the end of the 1997 season with our first cousin Donnie and his stepson Fred and Richie's son Shimmy. The Yankees won this game in extra innings.

1998 - August Trip

   Brett and I started on this trip and Joey did not join us until we were in Texas. We started at the newly opened Turner Field in Atlanta. and then down to Tropicana Field in the Tampa-St. Pete area. I believe we sat in the front row of a mezzanine section. We were near a tv camera, and the cameraman took us several times (for lack of anything better?).
   Then we went on to Texas and The Park at Arlington. I think we stayed on interstates mostly and did not stop along the Florida panhandle like in 1991. We did, however, stop in New Orleans. There was an interesting display of miniature ballparks at the stadium (pic 19).
   Onto Busch Stadium in St. Louis and then Coors Field in Denver, which had opened 1n 1995 replacing Mile High Stadium that we had visited in 1993. Lastly we went to the Arizona Diamondbacks at Bank One Ballpark. Do not remember how we all got back home. Maybe Brett and Joey flew home and I drove back.
   I believe we did see Joey's relatives in Dallas, although we spent a while searching for them in Plano. We did visit with my business acquaintance/friend John Scussel in the outskirts of St. Louis. We probably saw my niece and her family near Denver and my friends Isabelle and Gerry in Phoenix.

1999 - August Trip

This was a short trip to just Cincinnati's Cinergy Field and Cleveland's Jacobs Field. Interesting that the former ticket price was $10 while the latter was $30. Of course it does depend on where the tickets are located. Initial tickets shown herein were $9 and $11 in the 80s and the 2009 (new) Yankee Stadium opening day was $325. A pic showing current Yankee stadium prices is here.

Note that there still are low prices for poorer seats.
In addition to the games we saw, we went to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland.

2001 - August Trip

   This year we resumed going on a long trip to the west coast.
The headings of the pictures accurately describe the ballparks we saw on this trip. Joey did not join us until we were at Pacific Bell Park in San Francisco. It was very hot in Seattle and when we were sitting in the stands at Safeco Field there it was very sunny. I did get quite a sunburn. In Oakland, at the Network C0liseum, we were close to Jason Giambi who later became a Yankee. We saw Barry Bonds hit his 51st home run in PacBell in the season he hit 73.
   Besides Qualcomm in San Diego and Dodgers Stadium in LA, we did go to Angels Stadium in Anaheim in California. This was our last stop, and we did not apparently take any pics there. When we were close to Angel Stadium, someone sold us tickets to supposedly excellent seats. These turned out to be very far from the field. And an usher there refused to let us move down to better seats.
   Brett and I had a chance to drive down the Oregon coast and see pretty views. We had missed this in our trip there 10 years earlier. We also had a chance to see sites in the San Francisco area. We got to see relatives in San Francisco, LA, the wine country and San Diego (and Joey's friend there too). And even got to Seal beach and Disneyland in the LA area. Since not all of this was baseball related, a lot of these pics are on my main page.

July 16, 2003 - der Shea

We decided to go to a game at Shea Stadium, which none of us had previously visited, I believe. I remember getting stuck driving there (in NYC traffic) and getting there after the game had started. The Mets were doing awful that year and finished 66 and 95. They were losing already when we arrived.
As an aside, we referred t0 Candlestick Park as der Schtick and then Shea as der Shea. This was related to a Barry White song where he sings "Never, never gonna give you up 'cause quittin' is not my schtick" - schtick being a Jewish word meaning a piece, slice or way of doing things.

August 19, 2004 - Philly Game

With this being the inaugural season of Philadelphia's Citizens Bank Park, and Joey being an avid Phillies fan, we had to get there this year. I recall it being a very hot, humid day. We went to look around the new park between innings (or for the 7th inning stretch). We passed a vendor selling mango ices and I said I'd bring 3 back to our seats. When getting back to the seats, the ices were a little melted and there happened to be a similar vendor near our seats (go know). Both teams were running about .500, and the Astros won the game 12-10, scoring 7 runs in the 7th inning. We went to an interesting restaurant called the Pod that evening. It had rooms like pods and customized lighting in each of the pods. I remember having a mango drink there. It closed recently.

2009 - New Yankee Stadium

This year it was the inaugural season of the new Yankee Stadium and Brett got 4 tickets for opening day. It was more spacious and certainly more pristine fhan the old stadium. Joey was unable to make it, and Phil and Daniel came. There was a lengthy opening ceremony and then in an initially close game, the Indians scored 9 runs in the 7th inning and got a 10-2 victory. I remember Jorge Posada getting the first Yankee home run at the new stadium.
The Yankees and Phillies made it to the World Series. With the Yankees leading the series 3-2, Joey was able to get tickets to the 6th game. He, of course, was rooting for the Phillies. The Yankees took a 7-1 lead and won the game 7-3, and hence their 27th series. No personal pics were taken but some of the leading player's pics are shown as well as the team's visit to the White House. Unfortunately, this has been their last series win since then.

May 2, 2015 - Fenway Park

We decided that a trip to Fenway at the beginning of the season would be good. We stayed at the Marriott overlooking the field. The Yankees won 4-2.
While I swam in the pool at the hotel, Brett went to visit the Chabad house where the woman (the Rabbi's wife) was who donated her stem cells to Brett. We went back there after the game and the Rabbi, his wife and Brett spoke about the transplant to a group of Boston University students.

We randomly decided to see a game at Yankee Stadium and happened to take pics there. The Yankees won 9-5 as shown in pic 3. We did not get to see Aaron Judge in this game in this, his 1st full season - where he won rookie of the year.

August 25, 2019 - Dodger Stadium

I got to Dodger Stadium with Jeannie when the Yankees were visiting. She had said I shouldn't have my Yankees logo on my phone, so I changed it. Didn't seem to have mattered as there were many Yankee fans near our seats. Each team had a home run in the 1st inning, but the Yankees went on to win 5-1.

August 16, 2021 - Shimmy + - Yankees

There is some background for this game. I got 4 tickets for July 1st for Jeannie and me to go with Sam and Brett. As we were driving to Yankee Stadium, I mentioned that in all our travels to baseball games we never had a rainout. There had been some rain delays. After parking and starting to walk to the stadium, the sky got very dark and there was an announcement that the game was postponed (t0 August 16th). Since none of the 4 of us could make it on the new date, I passed the tickets along to Shimmy and family. The Yankees did win 2-1 over the Angels.

June 3, 2023 - Dodger Stadium

Another visit to Dodger Stadium when the Yankees were in town. Capacity crowd. Cole remained undefeated in his 7th win. The Yankees hit 4 home runs - 1 by Judge. But, in making a spectacular catch in the 8th inning Judge suffered a torn ligament and sprain in his right big toe and missed a lot of games that season. The Yankees won the game 6-3.

June 10, 2024 - Joanna&Boys at Angel Stadium

I got tickets at Angel Stadium for Joanna and her boys. We left the game a little early and missed the Angels losing the game 5-4 after Texas scored a run in the 8th inning. Full pics of their whole trip are on my regular page.

Miscellaneous

Miscellaneous tickets - where no other pics were taken at the games - are shown below. Interesting to have player pics on some 2010,11 Yankee tickets. 3 pics are not from major league games (2007-07-08 from PNC Field in Wilkes-Barre, PA and the last 2 from Blue Rocks Stadium in Wilmington, DE). I also went to a Newark Bears game at Bears & Eagles Riverfront Stadium, NJ. The Bears are no longer playing, and their stadium was demolished in 2019. And I have gone to see games at the Somerset, NJ Patriots games.
