Yankee Stadium, the old one is now completely grassless.
I had an interesting conversation with my father last night. He, of the non-baseballfan-why-are-you-wasting-your-money-on-tickets variety, asked me why they didn't just keep the old Stadium, turn it into a park...
As excited as I am about the new Stadium, I can't help but be sad about the passing of the old.

Saddest picture I have ever seen as a baseball fan

Tell your dad they ARE going to turn it into a park. It's going to be a public-use baseball diamond once the deconstruction is complete. At least that's what the original plan called for.
ReplyDeleteNote the location of "Heritage Field" in the parking diagram:

That's exactly what I was thinking.
ReplyDeleteHello Rebecca,
ReplyDeleteI wanted to let you know that you do a wonderful job following the New York Yankees, and I enjoy reading your blog.
As an avid sports fan and follower, I started my own Yankees blog entitled Heartbeat of the Bronx (http://heartbeatofthebronx.blogspot.com/). Peter Abraham was impressed with my work, and has added me to his blogroll on The LoHud Yankees Blog. It is an honor that we both share, and something that I truly cherish.
If you were able to give feedback for my site and add me to your list of Yankees blogs, it would mean a lot. I hope to hear from you soon Rebecca, but keep up the excellent work regardless. Take care.
Sincerely,
Stephen Meyer (Heartbeat of the Bronx)
