Toronto Blue Jays Vs. New York Yankees

Yankees win 10 to 5

Rogers Centre, Toronto, Ontoario

jAfter leaving Cornell in the morning, we headed west to Buffalo to see our friend Amy Rose.  We dropped off our stuff at her house before driving to Toronto.  Unfortunately, traffic turned the 80 mile drive into a 2 hour 45 minute drive.  Luckily, we arrived at the Rogers Centre as they were singing the national anthems (in Canada, they sing both). 

The Yankees scored five in the first and never trailed throughout the game.  However, things got very interesting at the end.  In the top of the ninth with two outs Hideki Matsui on third and ARod on second and the Yanks leading 7 to 5, Jorge Posada hit what looked like an inning ending pop up to third base.  As he was running to third base, ARod yelled, "Mine" and the third baseman thought it was the Shortstop calling him away from the ball.  So the ball dropped, Matsui scored and Arod and Posada were safe at first and third.  Well, the Blue Jays were really fired up and a bench clearing brawl almost followed.  The Yanks added 2 more to win it 10 to 5. Also, this game featured 4 Home Runs, and with a generous donation from Jordan Posner, our total keeps rising!!!

After the game, we made the drive back to Buffalo to see Amy Rose and her friends (it only took 2 hours this time). It was a great day all around.
