*******This update from our South Carolina road trip.
While eating breakfast at the hotel this morning, after having to step over slumbering patrons from the strip joint Fantails next door who somehow wandered into our lobby, Team VFH read that Alex Rodriquez, 3rd baseman for the New York Yankees will be playing in his second rehabilitation game tonight with the Yankees class A affiliate Charleston Riverdogs. SRO tickets were all that was left, but we decided to spend the $7.00 per ticket (plus a $1 service charge) to go to the game. We are leaving the Grand Strand / Myrtle Beach area to begin a four day stint in Charleston anyway.
A-Rod has played with the Yankees for the past 9 years, and had hip surgery in the off-season. Before he came to the Yankees in 2004 from the Texas Rangers he was considered the best shortstop in MLB, but to appease the Yankees faithful and to not upset the world of El Capitan, Derek Jerek, the team's shortstop, A-Rod said he would move to third and has played remarkably well. He is a big strong right hander who has 647 career home runs. I once saw him crush a line drive HR into the black area of the old Yankees Stadium. Some hate him; they call him arrogant. I don't care, he's a stud, at least according to Madonna... And, afterwards they are setting off fireworks.
And, another guy who played in the bigs for the Yankees is also rehabing tonight, Eduardo Nunez.
Should be fun....
Now back to your regular travel blog....***********
