Day Off
I had a great day at the Stadium last Thursday and brought along my new toy for the ride.
McSorley's was not a disappointment. I read somewhere that it's a living Bar Museum and that covers it well. The ale was excellent but the real surprise was the astonishing mustard which made every bite of my corned beef sandwich a marvel. The stuff is infused with horseradish and gave a wonderful rush to the palate and sinuses with every bite. Why can't you buy stuff like this in a store? Here's a view of the bar:
On the way up to our seats I stopped to take this pic. I call it vomitorium.
It's not a great picture, but I love the word vomitorium and try desperately to work it into everyday usage. I'm sure you understand why.
At one point I trekked up to the highest seats behind homeplate and took this pic.
The camera is great, McSorley's is on the agenda for future trips, and oh -- the Yanks won a tight pitcher's duel on a 1-0 Ruben Sierra home run with 2 out in the ninth.
Like I said, my life sucks. Well maybe not on select Thursdays.
