Go, yankees, go to the victories!

On the 4th weekend my friends and I went to (the)New York city. We had already bought tickets to the Yankee vs Reds game. So we directed our steps toward Yankee Stadium, that is located in the Bronx. The subway was overcrowded by fans in blue T-shirts and baseball caps with logos of YankeesAt the final station we were carried away from the train by a flow of people. And suddenly we saw the Stadium. It is a big gorgeous building with flags on the top. Rays of the sun were reflected by dozens of windows.

We hurried up to buy some food and find our seats. When we took the first step into the stadium, we heard the roar of thousands of fans. All of them screamed chants and gesticulated sharply. Almost all people there ate snacks and drank beer, it was very unexpected, because normally in Russia it is illegal to drink alcohol in such places.


We bought standard baseball food: hot dogs and French fries with hot cheese sauce. It was so American style, very tasty! 


I did not know the rules of baseball games. Sthroughout the game I tried to understand, why sometimes all of the players are starting to run and sometimes just staying on their positions. Nevertheless I was happy as a child, when I saw that the Yankees scored one more point. The game was really long, it lasted for 3 hours. Finally, the Yankees won!
