We Are Young

April in New York is one of my favorite times of the year. Temps are warming but still crisp, baseball's back, people starting to venture outside from their winter hibernation. There is just a great excitement in the air throughout the city during this time of year. Last time I visited nyc it snowed, so naturally this time around it was during a rare April heatwave. The hottest days of the year so far. 

Good morning New Jersey..gotta cross that tunnel to the otherside..   

Love it..home sweet home

York park..

Friday the 13th. Yankees 1pm

Forecast "feels summery"

Opening day baseball in the Bronx!! Hip Hip Jorge throws out the first pitch. Swisher crushes a bases clearing 3 run double in the 1st inning. Hiroki Kuroda pitches a gem. . A-Rod hits an A-Bomb! Yanks win 5-0.

An absolutely beautiful day in the Bronx. Sunny but not too warm and just perfect. Great atmosphere watching the game with the rowdy bronx bar crowd at a cool spot mere steps from the stadium. The 4train rumbling overhead every so adding to the awesome vibe.    

Friday night after Pony Bar..

Lindsey's hero..

Fox Saturday Baseball!

New fields and park where the old house used to be..

Classic

Wouldn't miss it for the world..

Right field with the bleacher creatures.

Roll Call was a blast.(If you don't know, at the start of every game the bleacher creatures yell out at every starting player until they acknowledge with a gesture.)

Garlic fries, baseball, and beer...Life is good

Nick Swisher. Or Swishalicious as my mom calls him.

He was hamming it up all day for the right field fans.

Great seats and view..

After the yankee game we met Amy at Bronx Ale House for a late lunch/early dinner. Subway was down for repairs so we had to take a shuttle bus the rest of the way up to 238th. 

My new all time favorite place. BX ALE HOUSE RULES!!!!!!!

Took a cab over to Fordham to catch the metro north

Damn that was a fast trip. Overall EPIC. The visit every 5 1/2months thing just isn't cutting it anymore though. Definitely gonna try to make it out again over summer. Life is too short not to spend it with the people who care and are genuine. Thanks everyone..
