"The Bleacher Creatures are a notorious group of fans loyal to the New York Yankees, who occupy sections 39 and 37 of Yankee Stadium's right-field bleachers. They are known for their rowdiness, their strict allegiance to their team, and their often verbally merciless nature towards fans of opposing teams."
I had the privilege once again, on Thursday, April 3, to sit in Section 37 at the Blue Jays/Yankees game at Yankee Stadium. In the stadiums final season, the fans that populate the bleacher seats in right field were once again rowdy and rambunctious as usual. For a cold April evening, I have never felt such electricity amongst a group of fans, as I did on this particular night. It was a close game, with the Yankees edging the Blue Jays 3-2 for their second win of the season. In only the third game of the season, there were a lot of awesome memories from the night...
- Roll Call
- Drunk, Obnoxious fans (obnoxious in a good way)
- Typical bleacher chants (Red Sox suck, Mets sucks, box beats suck... etc.)
- ...and the ever pleasant subway ride back into the city on the 4 train.
Of all those memories, one stands out the most, and that was when one of the fans, who shall remain nameless, razzed a fan in the box seats to the point where loose change was thrown our way, and the fan then being escorted out of the stadium. This is a very typical scene from the bleachers.
With 2008 being the last season in the current stadium, I am sure to be going to many more games and say goodbye to one of the greatest sports venue I have EVER been to.
