So, today is Opening Day for our local PAL Baseball/Softball Season. Parade, ceremonies, first pitch, dunk tank! Lots of fun for the kids and family. Play ball!
Mets win second at Citizens Bank Ballpark against the Phillies. First - YES! Second, CB Park is a fantastic place to see a ballgame. Went last year, stayed at the hotel next door - I'm not a Philly kind of guy, but what a great ballpark.
Yankees and Mets are the locals who are both building new stadiums to open next year. I will take my sons (ages 7 and 9) to the House that Ruth Built this year (got my tickets vs. the Indians) so they can always says they were there. It will be my first time since Gooden pitched a No-hitter against the Seattle Mariners in '96.
Check out the new Yankee Stadium here.
The NY Mets (the team of my youth and my adult life) are also building a phenomenal new park. While you go to The Bronx to a park that stands the test of time, Shea Stadium is more like a really big rock in a path. The stadium itself holds fond memories, but the place has all the charm of a Rent-a-Center. A big blue and orange warehouse near an airport. CitiField is the place going up in the parking lot (which means it's the old No. 7 when we trek to Queens this year). Check it out - CITIFIELD
So new parks, teams at 3Million+ attendance, which makes it hard to get tix. Baseball is in full swing!
