August 5th – Could not have had a hotter day for this game! It was an afternoon game and we were sitting the sun all afternoon. First disappointment was that although we arrived well before the start of the game, Monument Park was closed for the day by the time we got inside the stadium. Alex Rodrigez had hit his 500th home run the night before this game but we did get to see a milestone – Hideki Matsui hit his 100th home run as a Yankee.
