SI Yanks

One of the highlights of the afternoon was the ferry ride out to Staten Island. The torch was clearly lit:


We got some great seats, and great hats, and all-you-can-eat hotdogs, hamburgers, popcorn, and beverages, not to mention great company:


We also had fun entertainment between every inning, though this guy needs to lose his spare tire:

The one thing we didn't have was a major league team - but we weren't expecting one. Sadly, the SI Yanks lost 1-8, and each inning was super-quick.

We saw double fireworks afterward - some over the water (Jersey City perhaps? or lower Manhattan?) and some close up:

The fireworks were surprisingly elaborate. (Not like the free fireworks on the boardwalk back in the day, where they try to lure you out for a 30-second show.)

Very fun.
