Video You May Not Have Seen: Time Lapse Photography
World Series Time-Lapse by Robert Caplin from Robert Caplin on Vimeo.
I know, I know. Everyone's sick of hearing about the Yankees World Series. I don't blame you, and if this video wasn't awesome, I wouldn't post it. But its just so cool. See all of game 7 from inside Game 6 in 3 minutes (and I mean everything!) and check out the experience once again. As a fan of the team not named the Yankees, I wish I could be able to have my team winning this World Series like this and enjoyed it as I know so many Yankees fans have.
Anyway, let the video load and enjoy it, seeing the fans, players, and everything with this time-lapse camera is absolutely fantastic!

Parade Tomorrow
The New York Yankees parade for 2009 will be held this Friday morning, New York City mayor Michael Bloomberg announced after the Yankees wrapped up their 27th World Series championship. Friday's ticker-tape parade will begin on Broadway at Battery Place at 11 AM ET and continue northbound up the Canyon of Heroes to Chambers Street. After that, Mayor Bloomberg will present the Yankees with the keys to the city.
Yankee fans will surely be in a lovable (and/or rambunctious) mood as the parade festivities kick off. Waiting nine years for another World Series championship may seem like nothing to fans of other baseball teams, but Yankee fans expect excellence from their clubs. The Yankees' last title of course came via a Subway Series victory over the Mets in 2000 (something about the NL East, they also beat the Braves in 1996 and 1999)

Want to go to the World Series?
How much would you pay for World Series Tickets? Is the cance to see a Yankee title worth $27,500.00 each?????? Since the Phillies won Game 5 tickets have been skyrocketing. These tickets are on StubHub for over 27 thousand dollars. In this economy I'm not quite sure who they are planning on selling that to on StubHub, but I'm no expert. Anyway, what the most you would pay for this game? Lowest price on StubHub is $500.

World Series Stadium Guide: New York Yankees
What a way to open up their new stadium. Dominate the regular season, dominate the first two rounds with a few of their now famous walk off wins and face a cocky NL team that many people call "even," and have one of the best Game 1 matchups of all time with the last two AL CY Young winners on hand. This is exactly how the New York Yankees would have wanted it, and exactly how they got it!. Check out SportsBound's Guide to Yankee Stadium and some advice of what to do there.
Stadium Facts
Capacity: 52,325 (including standing room)
Modeled it after the original Yankee Stadium, and the famous roof overhang and other touches have returned.Same Field Dimensions of Old Yankee Stadium
56 Private Suites, 410 Public Suites
1 restroom for 60 Fans
LED Screen: 59' high by 101' wide
Monument Park moved from old stadium to Center Field
Gameday Recommendations
If you have never been, and even if you have, get out to Yankee stadium early and check out the scenery around the stadium. Start by going to Stan’s Sports bar, the most popular by the stadium. This bar gets crowded but everyone is friendly (if you aren’t wearing the opposing teams stuff) and get a few beers before it becomes uncomfortable. After that, head to the Yankee Tavern, family owned since 1923 to grab a few beers and a bite of food. Yankee Tavern is known as the best food by the stadium and its probably a little bit cheaper than an 8 buck beer and 5 buck hot dog. Be sure to get into the Stadium early as you’ll want to see it. Monument park is free to walk up to half hour before the game and its more than worth seeing all their history. Whether you like the Yankees or not, its pretty amazing to witness all their history before they try to make more! Get to your seats by the top of the 1st and listen to the players roll call. In the right field bleachers, the fans take turns chanting players names until they are acknowledged, every player participates (some more excited than others) and it is a famous tradition. After that, enjoy the game! It’s WORLD SERIES BASEBALL in BRAND NEW Yankee Stadium! Not quite sure what could be better!
