Baseball: New York Yankees vs Seattle Mariners

We attended a couple of games of the New York Yankees vs our Seattle Mariners at Yankee Stadium in New York.

Jenn’s game summary:

A very nice stadium. Even though it’s not the original one, they imbued it with some classic touches and filled it with old ghosts and memories. The game did not start well for the M’s, with Luke Evans giving up three runs in the first, which wound up being the number of runs they lost by. The Yankees starting pitcher, Schlittler, made his MLB debut and pitched five strong innings, striking out 7. The M’s went deep four times, including Cole Young’s first major league homer. It still wasn’t enough to overcome the early hole, alas. Pleasantly surprised by how friendly all the Yankees fans near us were—they seemed impressed by my scorekeeping.

Our review on Campground Reviews:

Nice place to get away

We had a nice site tucked under the trees, which has pros and cons. On the plus side, it was shady and felt private. On the negative side, the trees made Starlink impossible to use, and our cell coverage wasn’t great. If you have to work or remain connected like we do, this is a problem, but luckily I didn’t have any critical meetings, so it worked out okay. There are a lot of amenities for families and kids, so I can see this would be a destination for folks who want to get away from the city. We used it as a jumping-off point to go into the city, as there aren’t a lot of options closer to the city for a large motorhome, and it was easy enough to drive to Yankee Stadium (about an hour and a half away). I would have loved to stay longer and explore more in the immediate area, however. Next time! We camped at New York City North / Newburgh KOA Holiday in a Motorhome.
