Greatest Baseball Team Ever

My Dad, Heather, and I went to the New Yankee Stadium and it got me to thinking.

The Yankees had the greatest all-round baseball player ever.






They have the most recent member of the member of the 3,000 hit club.


These were the balls that were used when Jeter got to 3,000


The greatest athlete to play baseball played for the Yankees








They currently have the greatest relief pitcher ever - Enter Sandman


The Yankees have the most World Series Trophies (Commissioner's Trophy) - 7





And they have won the most World Series and have the most World Series Rings


The Yankees even have the most perfect games by any major league club. Here are the statues that commemorate Don Larson's Perfect Game (the only one thrown in a World Series).




A few of the banners around the new stadium






We took the stadium tour before the game which brought you to Monument Park, The Yankee Museum, and into the dugout.






I know it's not the same stadium but I can't believe Mickey Mantle hit a ball off the top of the facade, just short of going out of the old stadium by a few feet.








In case you forgot - it's 27-World Championships

Kenny's B-Day Party

We celebrated Kenny's Birthday a little while ago. It was a small but very fun party, even though it rained a little bit. It's funny the day we had Kenny's party was the only rain we had for a very long time. The rain stopped pretty much as people were leaving which was even more disappointing.

The birthday party fun started early for Kenny with balloons. He loves balloons.


"I'll take all of these, thank-you."


"Hmmmm, who are all these people? And why are they in my house?" That is not drool. Kenny stopped drooling years ago. It was rainwater off our canopy.


Kenny didn't cry during Happy Birthday this year. We think it's because we had ice cream instead of cake. Kenny is about the only kid that doesn't like cake.


Nana and Granddad got Kenny chalk for his birthday. Kenny loves chalk. The mistake we made was letting him open the chalk first. All the other presents took a backseat to the chalk at that moment. He does like the rest of his gifts, he was just intent on the chalk at that moment. Thanks everyone for all the great presents.


"Really Mom, why are we opening these now? I have chalk to play with."


Sofia playing with Kenny's coveted trains.


Kayla playing with some toys also. Going to another kids house with new toys must be the greatest thing when you are a kid.


"Don't interrupt me. Everyone has left and now it's time for me to what Chuggington on Mom's phone."


It took Heather a couple of days to recoup from all the excitement. This is how her book reading went the next afternoon.

Oh, Yea of Little Faith

I don't believe Kenny thinks much of my running ability. I try to go on a 3-4 mile run pushing Kenny in the jogger at least 2-times a week. Today it was about 85* and very humid when we went. When we pulled back into the driveway Kenny exclaimed, "We made it!"

This wasn't a one time thing either, more often than not he says this when we return.
