My first visit to the Big Apple was on Saturday, September 5, 1987 to see the Yankees defeat the California Angels, 7-6. Ron Guidry got the win (#168 out of 170 for his career), and I got to see my 2 favorite players! Big Dave Winfield went 2 for 4 with a run and 2 RBI, and Dave Righetti came on in the 9th to nail down the save.

In spite of all that, the best moment for me came BEFORE the game. I was there as a member of the Johnson City Wildcat Marching Band, and we got to go on the field to play the national anthem. As a 15 y/o Yankee fan, I got goosebumps thinking about the ground my feet were treading.

My only other visit to Yankee Stadium came on Old-Timers Day in July 1996. I can'**** nail down the exact date, but I was again pleased that the Yankees came away with another victory for me. I was a newlywed at the time, and took the trip with my bride and my mom - the woman who passed on her YankeeFan heritage to me. **** was the first time for both of them.

Reggie Jackson **** a homer in the Old-Timer's Game, and I got to see Dave Righetti pitch again! Good times...
