We're going to Saturday's Subway Series game - in style!

A few days ago, Squawker Jon and I were resigned to the fact that we wouldn't be going to the Subway Series at all this season, for the first time since we started writing Subway Squawkers.

Well, thanks to the good folks at Blimpie, not only are we going to Saturday's Subway Series game, but we're going to be sitting in the Legends Suite box seats!

We're so excited - and grateful - over this. I'm feeling like one of the women on "Oprah" who just found out that they're part of the "Oprah's Favorite Things" programs!


Here's the deal. Squawker Jon and I ran Blimpie's Subway Series giveaway contest for our readers, but we didn't expect anything out of it (we were just happy to give away a pair of tickets to one of our readers!) In fact, Jon and I joked to each other that this contest was the closest we were going to get to the Subway Series this year.

Then Thursday morning, I came home after running errands to find out literally the best news I've heard all year. There was a FedEx envelope from the YES Network (Blimpie is a sponsor for them) that my landlord had signed for me. Inside were the tickets.

To have something so cool - and so surprising - happen was amazing. But to have them for Saturday's Subway Series game is even more awesome. We can't wait for the game!

We have a winner in our Blimpie Subway Series contest!

Thanks to all the many readers who entered to win our Subway Series ticket contest, courtesy of Blimpie Sub Sandwiches. And thanks to Blimpie for sponsoring the contest!

Anyhow, without further ado, here is our winner - Peter Pak of Leonia, NJ! Peter, a Yankee fan, was of course very excited to win tickets to Friday night's Yankees-Mets matchup in the Bronx. He also received a Blimpie gift certificate. Cool stuff!

Cool news - the good folks at Blimpie are offering one of our readers the chance to win tickets for Friday, June 18's Subway Series game at Yankee Stadium. (I'm a big fan of Blimpie sandwiches and much prefer them to that other sandwich chain. Just wish Blimpie would open on Staten Island!
