Today was Girl Scout Day at Yankee Stadium. They are celebrating 100 years of Girl Scouting in NYC. Cheers, ladies! Just so happens that I am a Girl Scout mom, and got to spend the day with my daughter and her troop in the "
House that Jeter Built." As if that wasn't cool enough, I also saw Paul O'Neill! You know me and us here at BYB , we love the Warrior!
Of course, I had a fan girl moment that involved some squealing, and complete loss of motor skills for a moment. Trust me, it gave the girls a good laugh at my expense. By the way, be sure to read my recent piece on
Paul O'Neill titled
PAUL O'NEILL TAUGHT ME ABOUT LIFE.
Anyway, not to get off track... there was also a game today. It seemed like the Yankees wanted to leave a lasting impression on the girl scouts today!
David Phelps pitched a phenomenal game, only giving up one run in the 4th inning.
The only other run the Blue Jays scored came off
David Robertson in the 8th inning, when
Edwin Encarnacion hit a homer.
Brett Gardner got the party started for the Yanks in the 3rd inning. But the real hero of the day was
Robinson Cano. Robbie hit a two, 2-run homers in the 3rd and 5th inning inning.
Travis Hafner also belted a 2-run homer in the 8th inning. I guess that shoulder's OK, huh?
Bonus! Then the girls got the opportunity to go out on the field to represent their troops! Pretty sure that was the highlight of my 7 year-old's day.
The Final today:
Yankees 7 - Blue Jays 2
Go Yankees Go!
