10/28 World Series Game 5

[a700hitter]

I would like to join you guys. I've been in opening day, great regular season games, this time in a WS, and now I'd like to go to ST next year. Hopefully we can match the dates.

That would be great. I usually finalize my plans in the first week of December immediately after the ST tickets go on sale.

 

Which World Series game(s) did you attend? It seemed like there were a lot of Red Sox fans at Dodgers Stadium.

Let me know when y'all finalize. My dates are already finalized, since I only have 1 week where I'm available to go down.

Thanks dickhead, it certainly explains it in better detail.

Would be great Ted. I think I could have more certainty about the dates and games I could assist in late February. I'll let you know.

 

Regarding the WS I went to games No. 3 and No 5.

 

Game No. 3 seemed that was never going to end LOL! We arrived to Dodger Stadium 2 hours before the game and it last 7 hours or something. So I was there for 9 hours and 18 innings, it was plain crazy LOL! I remember that we were 1 strike away to win in the 13th I guess, but Kinsler blew it up after a bad throw. Regardless the outcome that game was a great experience. We lived history. I went with my wife and little boy who is 2 YO. My wife doesn't understand too much about baseball, so she just couldn't believe that it took that much time LOL!. I had the opportunity to meet a couple of very nice old school Dodger fans, who btw were filling the box score in paper. Loved it, you don't see that much these days in ball parks. We shared some beers and a very nice baseball talk.

 

Game No. 5 was majestic from the start after the 2 R-HR by Pearce. After the HR, the Dodgers and their fans were done, I can tell you. From that point to the end of the game, everything turned sweet unlike game 3 which was 100% tension all the time. Also, unlike game 3, in game five you could see tons of Red Sox fans. I guess Dodgers fans were not confident anymore with their team after a 1-3 series, plus the tickets weren't cheep by any means, so a lot of Red Sox fan could assist in more quantity I guess LOL! This game was very fast, but I stayed there one more hour to see the celebration and enjoy the chant and party of other Red Sox fans. In game five I went alone. On Sunday we went to Disney in the morning, and my wife wanted to stay there with my boy, so I went alone to the game, I guess she didn't want to experience another 9 hours in a baseball game LOL!

 

The trip was a great experience. We had the opportunity to assist to a Lakers game and visit some places in LA like Melrose, downtown, outlets, etc. as well. It was my first time in LA.

 

Watching your team at the Stadium winning the WS on the road, is definitely priceless. It was one of my greatest lifetime experiences. You just can't put in words the feelings after the last out. Every cent worth it.

Yeah, poor little Hal Steinbrenner just doesn't have the money any more.

2018 World Series trophies broken by Red Sox fans: 1

2018 World Series trophies broken by Yankees fans: they dont have one.

[mvp 78]

Yeah, poor little Hal Steinbrenner just doesn't have the money any more.

 

Maybe if the Yankees could fill the first few rows of seats with fans they'd have a higher payroll?

[Bellhorn04]

Yep. Hal still can't figure out why those babies don't sell out every game at $2,500 a pop.

 

They're a hilarious sight on TV, aren't they?

Always next year for Yankees lol.

Yeah, poor little Hal Steinbrenner just doesn't have the money any more.

 

'Poor little Hal Steinbrenner' is right. From Sherman:

 

Hal Steinbrenner refers to “the first week in October” often in a 40-minute phone conversation. He uses that term (“first week in October”). Not the Division Series. Not the loss to the Red Sox.

 

It haunts and irritates. The Yankees owner both wants to put his arms around the reason his team was ousted (all together now) in “the first week of October,” yet it is palpable how much he is repelled by the subject. That it was the hated Red Sox who eliminated the Yankees and went on to win a fourth championship in 15 years “certainly pisses me off. I never want a division rival to outdo us.”

 

At another point, Steinbrenner offers, “I have no love for the Red Sox on the field or in the division.”

 

 

I feel bad for Steinbrenner.

 

NOT!

[Slasher9]

Hahahaha. Hal is butt hurt.

That's cute aside from the fact it wasn't the 2018 trophy that got damaged.......

Meanwhile, back in reality, the Yanks outdrew the sox both at home and on the road.......

Yep. That (and $2.39) will get you a small cup of coffee at my local Dunkin Donuts.

 

When they start having parades for attendance be sure to let me know.

Yeah, because Fenway's capacity is much smaller

Hal has really had his fill of the play-in games. 3 of them in 4 years! :D

 

Also, I didn't realize this until I looked it up...the Yanks haven't won the division since 2012! :cool:

He can't even bring himself to say "division series".

 

I love it!

That is so great that you got to see the clinching game. I had that experience in Boston in 2013 -- game 6. It is such a great experience. Game 5 this year was much like game 6 in 2013 in that the Sox took the lead early and there really was no stress as the pitching just shut them down. It was almost as if we had the game in hand from the first inning. It is a once in a lifetime experience to see your team clinch a World Championship in person. Luckily for you the opponent was the Dodgers and not the Brewers as a trip to Milwaukee would have been much more difficult four you.

Actually the original idea was to go to Boston with a friend but it got complicated since his job, so I decided to go to LA just like that once they won the second game of the series LOL! I was very confident that we were going to clinch the world series in their park, so I said, it could take another 3, 5, 10 years or so to see them win another WS and in person, so I couldn't miss the opportunity LOL!. As you said, once in a lifetime experience.

My favorite holiday of the year is Yankee Elimination Day - it came a little bit early this year. Which always makes it nicer!
