We went up to Baltimore for a great late summer weekend with my sister and folks for a couple of damn good Yanks games. I love seeing the Yankees in Baltimore because for one, Camden Yards is one of the best ballparks in all of baseball and this being my 5th time there, it is definitely Yankee Stadium south. The friday night game was actually a game that the Orioles should have won but leave it to A-Rod to steal the show and put the Yankees back in 1st place. Down by 2 in the 9th with 2 on, 2 outs and 2 strikes A-Rod hit a bomb to the left-field seats that put the Yanks back on top and left it for Mo to lay down. The place went crazy as it was all Yankees fans and next to his 15 inning walk off hr against the Red Sox, it was the best home run I have ever seen.
The next day we spent in Baltimore doing what else but eating some great local food from an Italian market by where my sister lives to an old timey seafood joint with some damn good Baltimore crabs. That night at the game we were hoping to see CC reach his 20th win of the season, something he has never done, as well as something we have never seen. We had much better seats and the game was much more of a blowout as Granderson blasted a 3-run home run and Cano hit a 2 run home run and CC cruised to his 20th win of the year and hopefully a Cy Young. The final score was 11-3.
Overall 2 great games, with good people, good food, good weather, and a good city.....GO YANKEES!!!!!
