Inquirer staff writer Kristen A. Graham reports from Yankee Stadium:
Yesterday morning, Phillies fan Dakota Hansen did not have tickets to tonight's Phillies-Yankees game at Yankee Stadium.
But by this morning, he had them and was flying across the country to make it to the balllpark on time.
"We made the decision last night," Hansen, 21, a student at Texas A&M University, said. "Me and some friends bought tickets, booked a flight, and here we are."
To be honest, said Hansen, of Waco, Tx., he grew up a Rangers fan. But he caught a World Series game last year, he likes the scrappy Phillies, and he really, really hates the Yankees, he said.
"Utley's going to hit another bomb tonight," Hansen predicted. "Howard's going to break out of the slump."
