One of my strongest baseball playoff memories involves the New York Yankees and my hometown Seattle Mariners. It was October 1995, and it was game 5 of the ALDS. It was an exciting game! The Yankees and Mariners went into extra innings with a score of 4-4.
My first vivid memory of the New York Yankees is when they defeated the Atlanta Braves, which has always been my favorite team, in the 1996 World Series. As a nine-year-old child, this left a deep impression of disdain. For years after, I rooted against the Yankees at every turn.
New York and baseball: now that is a great combination of fun, hate, love, and everything that comes with team spirit.

Last summer, I had the pleasure of visiting New York for the second time in my life. However, instead of the usual week of tourist traps that I had visited previously, I spent the time getting to know the city. I don’t know what it was, but summer in New York was just…different. I guess […]
One of the most fond and best experiences I have ever had was when I went to New York in the summer of 2009 with my drama class. Coming from a small town in Mid Western Iowa, I knew that going to New York would be a fun and exciting experience, but I did not […]
I was living in the Virgin Islands when I decided to take a trip to NYC. I don’t know how I was able to get such a good price on the airplane, but I did. I believe that my plane ticket was about $100 for a one way. I booked my hotel for the week […]
