OCTOBER
10, 2004 --
LPR
was outside Yankee Stadium October 5 and again on October 6, and
got photos of Yankees going to the
ballpark for the playoff series with Minnesota.

(Travel advisory
to anyone going to the Stadium for the Yankees - Red Sox league championship
series: avoid annoyance, anxiety and aggravation: get to the ballpark
at least an hour before gametime.)

The
bricks that constitute Babe Ruth Plaza outside of Yankee
Stadium are crumbling.

Quite
the fold in the road developing outside of Yankee Stadium.

LPR also noticed
some lamentable conditions in the vicinity of Yankee Stadium. Babe
Ruth Plaza, on 161st
Street, behind left field, is crumbling -- and the 161st Street roadway, adjacent
to the crumbling plaza, has begun to heave and fold.

Getting
ready for the game vs. Minnesota, on October 6th.
|
LPR was amazed that
late in the October 6 game ticketholders were not in their seats watching
the exciting game, but were browsing in the Yankee Store,
behind home plate.

And LPR also noticed that in the extra-innings, with the score tied, people could
be seen leaving the ballpark, leaving in large numbers, prompting LPR to wonder
how many people were left in the ballpark at games end, to see the home team
win?
 |
This
photo of Rudy Giuliani and his wife Judy was snapped right
after the Yankees' win Wednesday night -- where LPR might
have been the only photographer outside ballpark to get
a photo of the Giulianis, who were clearly happy about
the Yankees' extra-inning win.
|
Two people who remained
to see the end of the game were Mr. and Mrs. Rudy Giuliani, who were
spotted by LPR smiling broadly, after the game, and paused for an
LPR photo.
Also spotted after the game was City
Council Speaker Gifford Miller, who was singing "New York, New York," as
he left the ballpark with two aides.
