Saturday turned out to be a great day to be a baseball fan.
The King and I as well as Bryan Gilligan and Vincent Ascanio enjoyed that luxury.
In the afternoon, we were at Yankee Stadium to see the Yankees play the Seattle Mariners. It was a real treat because we got to see one of the best young pitchers in the game. I'm referring to Felix Hernandez aka King Felix. He was opposed by Hiroki Kuroda who started for the Yankees.
Kuroda pitched well as he allowed a run in six and a third innings. Felix Hernandez was a little better as he dominated the Yankees from start to finish as he made that one run stand up as he beat the Yankees, 1-0. He pitched a gem. He gave up just two hits as he shut the Yankees down to earn his tenth win of the season.
The game went nice and fast. It took only 2 hours and 32 minutes which gave us plenty of time to get to Philadelphia for the second game of our major league doubleheader. I want to personally thank our pal Bryan Gilligan for driving us down there.
It was my first game in Citizens Bank Park since May 12th when we went there to celebrate Dylan Van Cleve's 2nd birthday.
We didn't get to see Dylan this time but we met his Daddy Andrew. It was nice to see him again.
In addition, our friend Manny Morales was there too. He decided at the last minute to make the trip down he said.
As for the game we saw there, Roy Halladay started for the Phillies as they played the Arizona Diamondbacks.
Halladay who had been setback by an injury earlier in the season, pitched seven shutout innings as he picked up the victory. The Phillies beat the Diamondbacks, 3-0.
It was great to see another game in one of my favorite modern ballparks.
Thank you for reading and following along.
Yours truly,
Gary Herman
