HANK

“Red Sox Nation?” Hank says. “What a bunch of bullshit that is. That was a creation of the Red Sox and ESPN, which is filled with Red Sox fans. Go anywhere in America and you won’t see Red Sox hats and jackets, you’ll see Yankee hats and jackets. This is a Yankee country. We’re going to put the Yankees back on top and restore the universe to order.”

New Stadium: Feb 20, 2008





McFaddens at Citizens Bank Park in Philly

Here is a picture of one of the bartenders at McFaddens Irish Pub at the ballpark in Philly. The bar is open year round and is a cool spot to hang pre and post game for Eagles, Flyers, and Phils games. The Yanks apparently are opening a martini bar in their new stadium and a steakhouse that will be open year round. Hopefully they will have hot snitches such as the one pictured above serving miller lite's to my friends and I.

The Man who makes it all happen.....


Scott Mooney - The man who makes it all happen. This cat has continuously hooked me and the boys up with the fattest seats to the fattest games over the past decade. 2001 World series vs. Arizona when Soriano and Brosius went yard. Matsui's opening day grand slam in 2003 in the snow. 4th row behind Rudi Guliani last year in the ALDS against Cleveland, the list goes on and on. Not ot mention countless Ranger playoff games at MSG. Thank you Scott Mooney....you are no joke!

Josh vs. the Parking Attendant - Summer 2007



As you can imagine, b/c of the construction on the new stadium, many of the yankee parking lots have closed forcing many fans to now park in lot 13B. This has been a hinderance to our crew as the parking lot attendants are now parking cars right on top of eachother and packing us in like sardines. The worst is when the jackasses who get to the game less than an hour before first pitch try to park their cars and literally park them in the lot right on top of where we are tailgating b/c there are no more "real spots". Weeks of frustration finally came to a head last July: The parking lot attendant told Josh to move our tailgate so he could park a car literally on top of our coolers, grill, and chairs. That was the final straw for Josh (who had been "experimenting"with creatine at the time). Josh EXPLODED on the guy and publicly humiliated him in front of several fans referring to the 50 yr old parking lot attendant as "Son" to the point where he had to be physically restrained by his wife Leslie. Josh apologized a few weeks later.

Newmanium 08???



Will Matthew Newman (pictured in 2004 above) attend another Yankee game before the Stadium closes?




2004 Flip Cup Video (double click to view)

Flip Cup


One of the many fun activities before a game is playing "Flip Cup"

Flip Cup, is a team-based drinking game. Effectively a drinking relay race, it is the North-American equivalent of a "Boat Race". The two teams stand on both sides of a table, facing one another (the person in front of a player is his/her opponent). In front of each teammate is a cup filled with an arbitrary amount of any kind of liquid (often beer). A player and his opponent both have the same amount of liquid. At the start of the race, the first member of each team drinks his or her beverage. When finished, the cup is placed right-side up at the edge of the table, and the person who drank it tries to flip it upside down onto the table. If he or she is not successful on the first try, the cup must be reset and reflipped. Only after the first teammate is done flipping the cup successfully, can the next person proceed. Whichever team finishes drinking and flipping all its cups first is the winner.

Several suckers have issued challenges to us and have lost money as a result. One of the highlights of the 2007 season was watching Matty a.k.a. "the baby cub" take on 4 individuals and "walk it out" to victory.


The worst sausage ever eaten at Yankee Stadium



This is Jeremy Luksberg getting ready to enjoy his favorite delicacy in May of 2007. That thing looks like a head injury, but he loved it!

The Funnel (R.I.P.)



Here is a picture of Joseph Possidento doing a funnel before a game in 2006. This funnel made one appearance at the stadium and has since been retired as excessive funneling led to physical violence after the game.

Where it all goes down......Lot 13B

Me and my crew have been a fixture in Lot 13B for over a decade. Tailgating before games has become a ritual and if you cant hang then you need to get to steppin!
