My First Game at Yankee Stadium Ends With a Walk-off Win!
19I attended the Yankees Vs Tigers game on May 3, 2024. This was my first time attending a game at Yankee Stadium. I took the Subway to the Stadium and headed towards gate 2 to wait in line to enter the stadium since this is the gate on the opposite side of the subway and also puts you into the left field area for batting practice.
During batting practice, there were a few home runs hit by players and some tossups to several fans. After batting practice, I decided to walk around the stadium and go to my ticketed seat which was in right field.
I went over the left field area when I started seeing some action in the Tiger's bullpen. One of the bullpen coaches ended up tossing me a ball for my first ball ever at Yankee stadium and lifetime ball number 93. I decided to give it to a kid since I already had a bunch of ball in my suitcase and didn't really have much more room.
During the game, I ended up moving over to left field where I found some empty seats and also went to the Grandstand level to get a bird's eye view of the stadium. The Yankees ended up winning the game 2 to 1 with a walk-off base hit.
