Here's some photos I took last night. I hope you enjoy them.
While waiting on line to try to get to the field I ran out to section 1 in the tiers to take this shot.
This was the line of people attempting to make it onto the field. Most people, including myself did not even come close to getting to the end of the line and making it on the field. The line literally started on the field level around section 2 heading towards the left field corner, and wrapped all the way around up to the tiers in the right field corner and back.
John Sterling and Michael Kay go over their lines.

After the bottom of the 6th, my mother received a call from a friend who was sitting about
five or six rows behind home plate on the field level. Two seats had just opened up
(don't ask me why or how) and the person wanted us to move down to sit with them.
You don't have to ask me twice.

The Final Pitch.
Jeter thanks the fans. I thought Jeter's speech was great.
For some reason I forgot to take a picture of the scoreboard when the game ended, but about 45 minutes later I remembered and snapped this photo.
One last look.
