The first game of my holiday was more of a "traditional" game, in that this took over 3 hours to play out in total, mainly due to the drawn out innings that New York kept having, with so many pitches thrown by the Chicago pitchers. I lost count of how many Yankees were walked during the course of the game, but it must have been close to double figures. Despite all of that it was close until Grisham's grand slam in the middle innings that put New York up 5-0 and it was never close after that.
It was "Puerto Rico Heritage" night, so there was a lot of PR signs and things going on in between innings.
Friday is also the traditional day for teams to have fireworks displays, and tonight was no exception. We had a wonderful 15 minute display of fireworks after the game.
They keep some of the stadium lighting on during the display, but switch off the main stadium floodlights.
Now that the floodlights are LED, they don't need to fade out or in any more, so they can switch off them for the display and then immediately reilluminate the park at the end so that people can see where they're going as they leave safely.
