George usually always welcomes back ex yankees even if he did have fueds with them like he did with yogi. Yogi said he would never step foot at yankee stadium with Steinbrenner as the owner, obviously that changed.

I was at a New Haven Ravens game back when the Rockies had their minor league affiliate there. I spent more time watching the TV with the perfect game on, than I did the game I was actually at.

And Mariano Rivera, of all people, let up a single to end the no-hit bid in that game.

If you have some extra loot you need the prime rib sandwich from Lobels. It’s like 15 bucks which is ridiculous but it is delish. If that’s not your thang, I enjoyed the garlic fries.

Were you a big enough fan to know what you had just witnessed, or were you too young?

I was there… at the tender age of 9

7-18-99

I was in camp, and this was the first year campers could recieve emails from their parents along with the normal letters.

So a couple times a week my dad would email me the score of the game, and the article after if something important had happened.

I got the email about Cone’s perfect game in the middle of shower hour–since that was also mail time. I was standing, wrapped in a towel, in the middle of the bunk, reading it again and again trying to make sense of why it was so important.

I had to read it about three times before the “6-0″ score and “Cone perfect” headline made sense.

And then I tried to celebrate, but my cabinful of girls was very, very not interested…

A minor correction: I think that was 1996. It was the start of his return after missing four months due to the aneurysm.

I’m in town for both games this weekend. My first at the new digs. What food should I get to complement my expensive beers?
