Meeting Derek Jeter!

I have no problem acknowledging (and am quite happy to) that it's now a three-way tie between the happiest days of John's life--our wedding day, Lola's birth & Saturday night's Sox vs. Yankees game. I would say this picture speaks a thousand words, but in case you don't know, that's us with Mr. Jeter! Any of you who know my husband knows just what this meant to him :) Mr. Jeter was kind enough to stop for a quick picture with us on his way back to the team bus.
And if that wasn't enough, Mr. Posada and Mr. Cano obliged us, too :)
Mr. Pettitte, quite the gentleman, stopped to pose with Lily as well!
So how did this all happen?! THIS GUY! Mr. Freddy Garcia--starting pitcher for the Chicago White Sox. Ron, John's good friend from Miami, owns a sports medicine/physical rehab center in south Florida and Freddy is a client of his. Ron & Lily came in town for the weekend and shared the tickets Mr. Garcia gave them with us.
The night was capped off with meeting the Yankees outside the player's clubhouses under the stadium. But it started off as awesome as it ended with a GREAT dinner at Rosebud on Taylor! Since Ron, Lily and even John had never been, I thought it would be the perfect spot--and it's near the park. I asked them to seat us near Frank.
Yes, that's me holding a class of wine. Don't worry--I don't make it a habit while pregnant. But I did have a few glasses while pregnant with Lola and she turned out o.k. :) By the looks of what John's holding, he obviously had a bit more!

We stopped for a quick pic outside the stadium before entering through the player's entrance (what?!)
Headed to our seats!

Couldn't ask for better seats, Thank you Freddy!!!

How we celebrate home runs on the southside--loved that since I was a kid--a tradition carried over from the old Comiskey park.

Oh, what a night!
