Game 6 of the World Series is tonight, and it will pit the New York Yankees against the Philadelphia Phillies. The Yankees currently lead the series three games to two, and it could all end tonight if the Yanks pull out a win. The pitchers tonight are amazing competitors and should keep the score pretty close. Pedro Martinez is on the mound for Philly and Andy Pettitte pitches for the Yankees.
The cool part about this game is that the boys are back in town -- the Yankees are at home in their new stadium in the Bronx. If you're a New Yorker and couldn't afford the steep ticket prices, then invite your friends over for a viewing party. Serve mini hot dogs and popcorn with beer, and you'll feel like you're at the stadium. If you want to go out, the bars will be backed with pinstripes. Many are offering drink specials during the game, so check with the bartender before ordering.
Greta Daniels, a New Yorker and die-hard Yankees fan, will be cheering on the Bronx Bombers tonight. When asked why she loves them so much, her answer was simple. "They are team that lives above the hating and the hype - a team that has real class... and history that spans and binds generations of new yorkers. They are also most winning team in sports history... and that says something."
The Yankees take on the Phillies starting at 8pm on Fox. Mary J. Blige will be singing the national anthem, so tune in early to hear her perform. Let's go Yankees!!
