Thanks Mike I feel that this will be a good series. I too look forward to game 1 on Friday I have invited a few friends for a watch party as we could never afford tickets to the game upper deck seats are going for $900 the seats behind home plate start at $5000 thats crazy.
Haha. Same here. Back in 1981 we had reserved seats behind third base for our partial season ticket plan. I think it was around $15 a game. Playoffs and World Seties probably $40. Today it is ridiculously unaffordable for the average person. Plus we are comfy in our living rooms watching in high def with all the replays. I agree that it should be a good series.
I will be watching from home as you TouchKrazy. Ticket prices are ridiculous. I’m very happy to sit back in my recliner watching on my big screen Hi Def TV.
Thanks Mikeyank, I just woke up and need to clean up the mess from early this morning, I was fine until Freddie hit his Grand Slam and started doing Tequila shooters lets just say I'm not 25 anymore. I hope game two is just as good as game one, I feel this series will go the distance.
I agree TouchKrazy, I hope tonight’s game is as good as last night’s. I have plenty of Dodgers Peanuts and Dodger Dogs for the Bar-b-q.
Great 10th inning finish with Freeman's grand slam reminiscent of Kurt Gibson's similar homer against the Mets in the 1988 NLCS. Great start to a hopefully great World Series!
Believe it or not, WSHU, the local public radio station in southwestern Connecticut, had a raffle for four behind home plate tickets for this Tuesday's game at Yankee Stadium. I believe those tickets go for $2,500 each during the Yankee regular season!I will be watching from home as you TouchKrazy. Ticket prices are ridiculous. I’m very happy to sit back in my recliner watching on my big screen Hi Def TV.

That sounds about right. The section directly behind home plate and behind the first and third base dugouts at Yankee Stadium are called the Legend Seats. They are separated from the rest of the lower deck to prevent anyone without tickets from trying to sneak in. They are sold in full season ticket blocks and include dining in one of two Legends Dining Rooms or waiter service at your seats. The only thing not included are alcoholic beverages which are extra.
Obviously as a Yankee fan, I am not pleased by the results of the first two games, and Aaron Jusge being in a terrible slump is disappointing. However I can recall two World Series involving the Yankees in recent memory where the team winning the first two games lost the series. In 1981 when I attended the games, the Yanks took a 2-0 lead in New York, and then the Dodgers swept the three in L.A. and won it in front of me in Game 5 in New York. And the opposite happened in 1996, Joe Torre’s first year as manager where the Atlanta Braves won the first two in New York and the Yanks swept the next three in Atlanta and came home to win it.
The New York Times Sport Section had an article today about the Dodgers' announcer who called Freeman' s grand slam on Friday: "Gibby, meet Freddy!", which was his tribute to Vin Scully's historic call when Gibson hit his historic homer: "I can't believe what I just saw!" The article also pointed out that both the Gibson and Freeman historic Dodger home runs were hit at exactly 8:37 Pacific Time. One of the great things about baseball is its appreciation of baseball history.
Ohtani is in the Dodger starting lineup tonight. Apparently he feels that he can play through the partial shoulder dislocation.
Mike, being a baseball fan I feel your pain I've seen many teams fail at the wrong time and it sucks. The NYY are a good baseball team with a lot of talented players, I too have been disappointed in the Yankee's performance as I was looking forward to a great series. I know it's not probable with the odds against them now but they are not out until the fat lady sings.
