Million Dollar Baseball Cards

When someone says, "Baseball Cards," I think of all the boxes in our garage and in the closet that NEVER get any attention.  After hearing of all the other guys that have a thing with their childhood baseball cards, I stopped giving Ryan such a hard time...kinda.

The suspense was KILLING me

So after Jacob, our Feather Cloud Family's son and Henry's BFF, got into the Yankee Stadium Collectors Card Set Blah Blah Blah, Jodi & I convinced the guys to open the cards.  I think Dean mainly did it because I promised him a blog.  None the less, Ryan and Dean had a gay ole time discovering the "treasures" in the baseball card blah blah blah.  Probably will be worth a gajillion dollars someday, right guys?

ODE TO YANKEE STADIUM...

We had a very emotional Sunday as my husband simultaneously mourned the Yankee season ending before October and Yankee Stadium having its last hurrah! We watched ESPN for 5 hours as the nation and our family said good-bye to an icon of America's favorite pastime. Luckily Ryan went to New York this summer with his dad, so they could say good-bye in person to Yankee Stadium...the House that Ruth Built. Here are a few pictures of their time...

Yankee Stadium

And one day baby Henry will hear the stories of the original Yankee Stadium and experience the NEW Yankee Stadium with his Papa and his Daddy.

Note: My favorite Yankee of all time is Lou Gehrig. Mainly, because two years ago I was reading his life story with a small group of fourth graders in a Scott Foresman and I started crying...good stuff!
