Everyone who is anyone is gearing up for the 2006 MLB season. My first step is going to be purchasing my New York Yankees Opening Day tickets. It is a tradition in my family for us all to take the day off of school or work to head down to Yankee Stadium for Opening Day. The Yankees have had some great seasons recently and for years they have been the strongest force in the league and feared by other teams. They are my favorite New York team so I always buy Yankees tickets and take the family out to support our local boys and the sport we enjoy so much.
This year�s spring schedule looks exciting and I�ll be buying St. Louis Cardinals tickets and Philadelphia Phillies tickets so I can see the Yankees while I am on the road this spring. The New York Yankees regular season home opener will be April 4, 2006 against the Oakland Athletics at McAfee Coliseum. Hopefully there will be some May flowers blooming when I use my Yankees versus Boston Red Sox tickets. Come July, I will be wishing I had bought Yankees box seats as the weather heats up and we host the Seattle Mariners games from the 17th to the 19th.
Our pitching core is the biggest reason I am so excited to buy my New York Yankees tickets this year. Some are calling our bullpen a true �Murderer�s Row�. Shawn Chacon�s talent on the mound and the addition of Johnny Damon at bat has Yankees fans really excited. Damon�s contribution to the outfield should be significant in the spring and regular seasons.
In New York there are plenty of sports teams to keep a baseball fan busy in the off season. But, going to New York Giants home games or watching New York Knicks basketball and New York Rangers hockey on TV, really never compares to watching my favorite baseball team try to make it to the World Series year after year. Yankees baseball games are a part of my history and of my future. I bought World Series tickets in 2003 when the New York Yankees battled the Florida Marlins. I�ll be spending baseball season watching Atlanta Braves games, Chicago White Sox games and Oakland Athletics games to scope out and hopefully curse the teams that threaten the Yankees chance to win the 2006 World Series.
