Grad Ejected From Yankee Stadium Ceremony
I thought I’d give all of our graduating readers something to ponder as they wait for their graduation ceremony. From yesterday’s NY Post:
A graduating New York University student was ejected from his commencement at Yankee Stadium yesterday after he was caught trying to steal home.
…
About three-quarters of the way through the ceremony, Lopez, wearing his gown and mortarboard, leaped over the right-field fence onto the field.
He sprinted across the outfield behind second base and made it to third, as many in the crowd, which also included 20,000 guests, cheered him on.
Lopez, a Yankee and Met fan, turned for home as stadium security and NYPD cops tackled him just feet from his goal.
“I was trying to make it to home plate,” Lopez told The Post after he was issued a summons for trespass. “I wanted to do a head-first dive. I almost made it, only 10 feet to go.”
Consider this a challenge graduates. First one to touch the White House wins. Wait… just don’t die and blame it on us.
But from everyone at The Colonialist, have fun and good luck tomorrow.
