Day 5: The Game

The game itself was confusing so it took a while after reading up some rules, which really I should have done before we arrived, before it all fell into place. It started better for the Rangers and then there were four innings with players called out one after the other and not a single run. Eventually the Yankees got back in it and the crowd got excited. The video screens were unashamedly partisan with celebrations only for the Yankees and never if the Rangers do well. However after the sixth innings, out of nine, it all went in the Rangers' favour and some fans began to leave before the end. It was sad we saw the Yankees lose but it was a worthwhile cultural experience nonetheless. I couldn't believe how fast 4 hours went.
