I loved baseball, I still didn't understand all the rules and to be honest I found it a bit boring, but being a Yankees fan was a family tradition. When he could my father took everyone to the stadium, including the "females" of the house who I think would have preferred other entertainment, in reality my younger sister loved being on dad's shoulders and yelling at the top of her lungs and for my mother it was almost a holiday to have everyone close without having to do anything! And if we couldn't go to the stadium, then we spent Sundays watching the games on TV and often the neighbors were added to the ritual. In short, I did not understand baseball, but the party that was created around it was special.

Adoravo il baseball, ancora non ne avevo capito bene tutte le regole e a dirla tutta lo trovavo un po' noioso, ma essere tifosi degli Yankees era una tradizione di famiglia. Quando poteva mio padre portava tutti allo stadio, comprese le “femmine” di casa che secondo me avrebbero preferito altri divertimenti, in realtà mia sorella più piccola adorava stare sulle spalle di papà e urlare a squarciagola e per mia madre era quasi una vacanza avere tutti vicino senza dover fare nulla! E se non si poteva andare allo stadio, allora si passava la domenica a guardare le partite in tv e spesso si aggiungevano al rituale i vicini di casa. Insomma non capivo il baseball, ma la festa che si creava attorno ad esso era speciale
