This was the start of a special weekend in NYC, as the next night was going to be the re-opening of the Statue of Liberty after many years of restoration. The fireworks on the 4th in the harbor were the most amazing I've ever seen.<BR/><BR/>For months the media told everyone to get out of the city, as it was going to be "crazy" with all the tourists. Well many listened, and none of the tourists brought cars, so it was a great weekend to be a New Yorker. No traffic, park where-ever you'd like!!!<BR/><BR/>A friend of mine had a friend working in the ticket office that summer, who said he'd try to get us in. Well it turned out we had two seats behind homeplate,8 rows back. The ones you see on the centerfield camera shots. Best seats I've ever had for a Met Game. <BR/><BR/>After Knight hits the homer and crosses the plate, he stops and blows a kiss and points just to the right of us. We turn around and sitting their was his wife, the golfer Nancy Lopez. We had better seats than she did!! He then gets some security guys to escort her around to the dugout, where she goes on the field and into the dugout with him to watch the post game show. <BR/><BR/>I pretty cool start to a great weekend in NYC.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
