What a game it turned out to be! Just hours before the Bronx Bombers took the field at Safeco last night, it was announced that Seattle's prized player, Ichiro Suzuki was traded to the Yankees. Well if you don't know by now, I am a SUPERFAN of the NY Yankees and already had my tickets in hand.
It was odd seeing Ichiro play right field for the Yanks as he rocked #31. His usual #51 has not been worn by a Yankee since the great Bernie Williams.
Yanks of course ended up winning and it felt oh so good to be in a stadium full of Yankee fans. Haters in Seattle always have something to say about the Yankees and their bankroll and blah blah blah so rooting for the team in a crowd with other fans is a happy place.
Seattle cheered for Ichiro as he batted 8th in the line-up and then they quickly got quiet when he hit a single.
Welcome to the Yankees, Ichiro. We're going for #28 this year so I hope you end up with a ring!
