After the Phillies forced the World Series into a game 6 on Monday night, my dad was informed that his company tickets for game 6 were his. He was already going to be in NYC for work on Tuesday, so he just had to extend his stay slightly. I got a text message Tuesday at 6:45am telling me to get a flight.
So I did. It was a bit pricey for Blake and I to fly up there, but when else would we ever be able to possibly see a team win a championship in person? Probably never. Blake is a Phillies fan, but he was pumped up nonetheless.
We were only in the NY/NJ area for about 24 hours, but it was totally worth it.
There was a lot of traffic, so we didn't get to enjoy the buffet before the game (dad and I did sneak in there in the top of the 5th to get some lobster tail which was very delicious...and we turned around in line and saw that Mary J. Blige was right behind us, true story), but we did get to see history happen. And also, we ate a whole bunch of other free foods.
Here are my pictures from the event. It was awesome. Thanks, dad!
