Yankees Game -- First MLB game

We took the girls to a Yankees game last night. It was their first major league ballgame, and my first time in the new Yankee Stadium. They really enjoyed it -- and the Yankees were up 11 to 4 when we left. They do keep the screens and music going, though sadly it feels like one long advertisement. "Welcome, Yankees fans, it's time for . . .The Subway Sandwich Great Subway Race! or The Aetna Insurance Seat Upgrade! or The Crest Toothpaste Name that Baby Bomber! or The Poland Spring Who Hit That Homer Contest!" They did nothing for pure fun, everything was attached to a sponsor's name. Chris pointed out that likely with all the money spent on the stadium, it's a financial necessity, but still. Gone are the days where the game itself is the main focus.
