the yankees won the alcs. and i was there.

i know i said i was going to blog about cmj, but that's just going to have to wait for a couple of days. because i had one of the most exciting moments ever and i just have to share that first.

on friday night, my roommate received a call from her friend whose dad works for the yankees. and she invited us to sit in their box for game 6 of the american league champhionship series. and of course, we freaked out...words can't describe our excitement (we're both diehard yankee fans). we couldn't believe our luck.

when we got to the stadium on sunday night, it was so cool. the mood was electric and everyone who was there was so caught up in it. we got some great food, sat in our seats, and looked to our right...YOGI BERRA WAS SITTING ABOUT 5 SEATS AWAY IN OUR ROW!!!!  he may have been sitting in the box next door, but HE WAS RIGHT THERE!!!!!!  here's a couple of sneaky photos i took with my iphone...that's yogi drinking out of the cup!!!

YOGI!!!!!!!!!!!! also sitting right next to us was my favorite yankee of all time, former first-baseman tino martinez.  TINO WAS RIGHT NEXT TO ME FOR THE WHOLE GAME!!!!!  it was all i could do not to jump over the barrier and hug him. (a little known fact about me: most people think that jeter is my favorite player. but he's not. he's just my favorite player to look at:) TINO!!!!!

anyway, the game was incredibly exciting. and from our vantage point, we didn't miss a thing. here are a few pictures from the game.

and now the celebration. words can't describe what it was like to be there in person to see it. the running. the cheering. the screaming. the crying. the jumping. the high-fiving. and the hugging. lots and lots of hugging. :)

i will never, EVER forget that day and how incredibly lucky i was to be there. i'm still pinching myself.
