The Frenay Report: On "the Incident" yesterday in Yankee Stadium

A good friend, great musician and - most importantly - diehard Yankee fan, Gary Frenay, went to yesterday's game, unknowing that it would be a 14-5 blowout. (He cannot predict baseball.) He filed this report on "the incident," which YES refused to disclose. 

"Starts as a perfect spring day..."

"Gotta love a place that allows service dogs, along with their handicapped-owners."

"Padded seats, lots of legroom and yes, you CAN 

get sushi at Yankee Stadium. 

 Thought that was only on the left coast. Quite good, actually."

"Jeter making conversation during pre-game warm-ups"

"The classic “Jeterian” swing. Even better in person!"

"The Boss, from behind the centerfield bleachers,
still keeps an eye on all that goes on."

"A quick stop at the Yankee Museum, near section 210,
 was well worth the time.
A huge exhibition on The Mick? Oh yeah!"

"And if you don’t tear up at the sight of Thurman Munson’s locker, 

well, you just don’t bleed pinstripes, my friend, do you…"

"For Solartes’s last at bat, we were hoping for a third double,
but - alas - a deep pop-out. I love this kid!"

"The ballpark incident (apologies to Roy Wood). When a 14 - 5 blow-out was clearly not enough to keep the few post-Opening Day fans (who were still there in the 8th inning) entertained, a couple of drunken yahoos, leaped over the low fence along the left field corner and ran onto the field as a swarm of security guard pursued. I know they’re idiots, and I know it has become broadcasting policy, by YES and by John & Suzyn, to NOT show or talk about incidents like this, but I gotta say, if you were there, it was big fun. And when one security guard finally did catch up with the second guy (left, above) he body slammed him into the dirt so hard, you could almost hear it over the mass levity in the stands. What a moment to treasure. Certainly better than the pitching of Nova & Nuno. Hey, if Banuellos and Betances can be the Killer B’s, can’t we call these two the No-no’s? As in, no… no, please not them again!"
