View from the Seats: Old Timer's Day at Yankee Stadium

On a beautiful, sunny day here in the Bronx, the View from the Seats comes today from Old Timer's Day and the Rockies at the Yankees. Today I'm in 431B, row 2, and watching a lethargic-looking Yankees after a very exciting Old Timer's Day. Joe Torre, Lou Pinella and Bernie Williams were back in the Bronx for the event which included a very nice ceremony to honor Gene Monahan.

The Yankees have done nothing against Rockies starter Juan Nicasio. Actually nothing. Through 4 innings, they have no baserunners. On a day when Don Larsen, David Wells, and David Cone are in attendance, Nicasio is pitching a perfecto so far as the Yankees look hopeless against the Rockies' rookie.

On the other side, Ivan Nova has pitched well against all the Rockies, except the bottom half of the lineup, giving up solo bombs to Ty Wigginton and Chris Iannetta. The Yankees are currently down 3-0 halfway through here in the Bronx.
