I have been a Yankees fan since 1996 and was never able to attend a ticker tape parade because I was still in school at those times. When I hit college (2002-2006) The yankees never won so I never had the opportunity to go to one. This year, since it could be Damon or Matsui’s last year I know I had to make it out to Manhattan and watch them go by on their floats. I stood up against the fence of City Hall park and hooked my arm around it to hold myself up while my right hand was holding my camera and shooting like mad. I am so happy that I was able to get a clear picture of Matsui and that they also stopped right in front of me for two minutes!

The crowds weren’t as bad as I thought it would be. I was right by the City Hall station for the R/W trains. The train ride there and back was enjoyable and wasn’t crowded either! I’m thinking everyone decided to pack onto the 4/5/6 trains as well as path.
