Richmond County Bank Ballpark is right next to the Ft. George Ferry Terminal on Staten Island, which means that a lot of boats pass by. Most of them are rather normal and insignificant but sometimes more giant exciting ships are sighted. Last night was an extra good night for boat-watchers as three huge ships went by.
The first was a Norwegian Cruise Lines ship. I wasn’t able to get a very good picture of it because of the glare:

Cruise ships do not normally come this close to RCB, making it a rare sighting.
Next up was a huge cargo ship. These are the most common type of large ship, but as they are very big I always find them very fun.

The last ship came by much later in the game, and it was another cargo ship albeit a different kind.

Sometimes these ones have a huge number of crates stacked on the deck, making them much more impressive. Still, a big boat is a big boat. Or ship, I suppose, I don’t want to offend any of the serious maritime fans out there.
As a not boat related aside, Kelvin De Leon hit a homerun over these trees in Left Field.

A good night on ole Satan Island. I will not talk about the Yankees game, though.
