OMG! I am so jealous Jerry! I'm a huge Yankees fan... I lived in Ft. Lauderdale for 4 yrs and snuck into the World Series in 2003 during the 7th ending, just in time to see Roger Clemens pitch his final pitch as a Yankee. Awesome shot of the "Godzilla".

@Paige Mills: Thanks Paige - I've been a Yankee fan since I was a child... Mickey Mantle and gang were my heroes!!!!! Awesome about sneaking into the world series!

I hope you had yourself a wonderful time.
For people like me, non-american as I am, baseball is very significant to examplify a huge part of the american culture.
thanks for letting me into your backyard:-)
