Staten Island Yankees

We were going to Staten Island to see the SI Yanks play! They're the NY-Penn League class A team of the New York Yankees. We (AB & I) walked down to the Staten Island Ferry Terminal, but stopped to pick up some potent potables and some Banh Mi ($3) at Sáu Voi Corp. Met bro and VI down at the Terminal and the four of us were on our way. The ferry ride was great; I'd forgotten, but I did remember how absolutely horrible the ferry terminals used to be on both sides. The Ballpark at St. George Station is connected to the terminal and it only took us 5 minutes to get to our seats. The stadium was designed by HOK Sport. They started the retro baseball park building boom with their design of Oriole Park at Camden Yards (completed in 1992). HOK Sport was also behind the just completed Emirates Stadium (new home of Arsenal), and is also designing the new ballparks for both the Mets and Yankees. Anyway, we got hot dogs and beer and lemonade and settled in for some baseball goodness. Unfortunately for us, we were sitting in front of couple on a (first?) date. We were subjected to possibly the worst date conversation in the history of mankind. The boy wouldn't stop talking about himself, which could have been fine if he wasn't also the most boring person in the world. We left the game early, so we could get back in time for some poker and to spare ourselves anymore inane banter.
