Play Ball! SI Yankees vs. Brooklyn Cyclones

I am a latent loyal fan of the New York Yankees and have taken an appreciation for the effort and hard work the players put in the game. I am very impressed with the owner's selection of players and the teamwork these players exhibit during a game. Teamwork, just like in any sport, is critical to success. And I enjoy watching them play.

We took the Staten Island Ferry on a beautiful Friday evening to see the opening game of the SI Yankees against the Brooklyn Cyclones. Both are A-teams for the NY Yankees and NY Mets, respectively. It was exciting and I had a wonderful time. And I get to appreciate minor league baseball and its family-oriented focus that night.

Happy Father's Day!

Why I Love New York: Public Art!

Seeing works of art around you makes you pause and wonder how originality and creativity captured in an art object can elevate our mundane lives. This summer, we passed by an exhibit of sculptures on our way to a spontaneous Chinatown dinner. The exhibit of 10 sculptures, "Statuesque", is right in City Hall Park. These figurative sculptures are far different from my favorite sculptures of Tom Otterness I blogged in a previous post.
