I’ve had a mini-plan (they call it a “Pinstripe Plan”) with the Staten Island Yankees for a few years. I bought one on a whim just before the NY-Penn League season started and have kept them since then, actually adding seats to my plan because my mom likes to go. The tickets are not hugely [...]

Prospect Stalking: Staten Island (Part 1)
Last night I took a special trip out to Staten Island with Greg from Pending Pinstripes to check out the new call-ups and signings who have joined the team in the last week or two. In case you’ve been sitting in a dark room somewhere the Yankees gave Rob Segedin (3B), Cito Culver (SS) and [...]
Staten Island Boat Watch 2010
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 [...]
Five Games in Four Days: The Aftermath
I think it’s important for me to start this off with a confession: I actually wound up going to only four games in four days, which is slightly less insane than five in four. I got myself together on Friday and went down to Yankee Stadium, got in the security line and then saw that [...]
Opening Day In Brooklyn, 2010 Edition
In the sequel to Friday’s opener in Staten Island, on Saturday the boyfriend and I took a trek to Coney Island for the Brooklyn Cyclones’ home opener. Getting to MCU Park is a straight-forward but rather long trip from where we live so we only make it out there a few times a year and [...]
Staten Island Yankees Opening Day, 2010 Edition
Friday was Opening Day for the Staten Island Yankees, and so I trekked out to Richmond County Bank Ballpark for the first time in 2010. While I am in no way a fan of Staten Island the borough (who is?), I am a huge fan of minor league baseball. I try to make opening day [...]
Big Boats and Old Timers
I had a busy baseball weekend. After getting home later than expected on Friday night, thanks to the hour long rain delay I went home and got a few hours sleep than ran over to Staten Island in the morning for their mini Old Timer’s day which is a nice and cute thing, wasted a [...]
How I Spent The July 4th Weekend
I realize it’s July 7th now, but sometimes life gets in the way of blog posts. But I can never resist posting the random photos I take while at games. On July 3rd, I made my way to Yankee Stadium for their series opener against the Blue Jays. There were a lot of red hats, [...]
The Staten Island Yankees Home Opener (And More)
It’s June! Short Season A started a few weeks ago and although the original Staten Island home opener (and my first game of the year there) got rained out on the 20th, I decided I wanted to go to on the 25th which happened to be the new date for the home opener. And then [...]
Staten Island vs Brooklyn — Opening Night at Keyspan Park
On Friday, Chris and I headed all the way down to Coney Island from Washington Heights to check out Keyspan Park for the first time and watch the Staten Island Yankees take on the Cyclones. We had a very long trip on the train that took longer than it should have because of some annoying [...]
