My Yankee Excursion

So my Papa asked me one day, 

"Lewigi, would you rather go see a ballet performance in New York or go to a Yankees game?"

I didn't even have to think! YANKEES GAME!!!!!

 

This is Yankee Stadium. Just beautiful.

 

.

 

Here I am at Yankee Stadium surrounded by my fellow Yankee brothers and sisters. I first sat in the fourth row. That didn't fly with me. 

 

 

 

 No worries, though. I talked my way up to the first row. No big deal. 

 

 

 

 

 

The Yankees had a lovely game. They played so well and won because of my inspiring presence! I am a very motivating little puppet!

 

HOME RUN YANKEES!!!!!! YEAH BABY!!!!!!

 

 

 

Yankee Stadium is fine, indeed.

 

 

 

C'mon guys!! Lets get another home run!!!

 

 

 

I was so thrilled to be seated in the first row out in left field, that I began singing one of my favorite songs. The next thing I knew my face was on the Jumbotron!!!!

 

 

 

 "Cause you've gotta fight! Yeah!" I sang.

 

 

 

 

 

I felt so famous!!

 

 

 

"I hope the Yankee bullpen is looking at me!!

 

 

 

I was so enthralled by my 15 second appearance on the Jumbotron, that I just had to take a stroll around the stadium. I really wanted to catch a baseball.

 

  

 

Here are three of my four sisters all smiling and happy to be at the NEW Yankee Stadium!

 

 

  

 

After strolling around the beautiful stadium and soaking up my new fame, Jessica, Rebecca and I went back to the front row seats in left field behind my all-time baseball hero, Johnny Damon!!!!! 

 

 

 

 

Here is me trying to get him to wave at me. 

 I waved and yelled...

 

 

 

"Throw it to the puppet!" I chanted. "Yeah, throw it to the puppet!" other people around us chanted.  But nothing worked.

 

 

 

 

 "He is not even looking at me!" I muttered to myself. "He's playing a game!" Jess reminded me. That made me feel really dumb.

 

 

 Then, the highlight of my life...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 He even smiled!!!

 I am eternally grateful, Johnny!
