Canyon of Heroes, Part 2

Two more videos from the Championship parade. First one is of Andy Pettitte: Andy pitched the clinching game of all 3 series in this year’s playoffs. He has more postseason wins than any other pitcher in history. He’s in the twilight of his career,…

The Canyon of Heroes

The Yankees celebrated their 27th World Series last night. While it’s only been 9 years, it seems like an eternity since we were able to stand as champions. This marked the first year where I had the means (translated: cash) to attend a World…

Yankees Dominate Angels

I’ve been running behind on my blog posts, missing one for the trip we took to the new Yankees stadium to see them bash the Red Sox back in September. But, after tonight’s game, I couldn’t resist throwing a quick post together. CC Sabathia…

Champs!!!

What a great day yesterday!! Duke had a healthy lead most of the game in what was never much of a contest. Getting to watch the celebration afterward was great. I only wish we had a bit more time to spend watching it before…

ACC Semifinals

Forgot to post last night! UNC *LOST* in the first semifinal. I was surprised at how many UNC fans actually stuck around for our game. I guess they really do hate Duke enough to want to see us lose. Anyway, the first half was…
