Yankees vs. Orioles, August 31, 2012

Mr. Softee pulls up at the open fire hydrant in front of the house, while I'm waiting for my friend to pick me up so we can get veggie dogs before the Yankees game


...he needed a quick refresher...
...and then he's off on his rounds.

After veggie dogs, it's a quick jog past the new Barclay's Center to Atlantic Terminal, and the D train to 161st Street in the Bronx.

Gate 6, fans arrive
Not exactly littering...neatly balanced drinks cups


First real look at the stadium, and the game's in progress
The concessions guy

Fierce rookie pitcher Miguel Gonzales of the Baltimore Orioles

Swisher at bat, Jeter on first, Gonzalez pitching

Jeter at bat again, but no luck. The Yankees are down 5 - 0 at this point

Fans beginning to realize that the Yankees are not going to win this one
 




Cleanup time at the concessions stand -- time to go home
