sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=2038623There's just something wrong about this. I mean, it's Yankee Stadium! The House that Ruth Built! DiMaggio, Mantle, Maris, Ford, Catfish--the list goes on and on--all played there. And it's just wrong that the Yankees won't be playing there. When you have a classic like Yankee Stadium, you don't replace it, you fix it and upgrade it, much like the BoSox are doing with Fenway.

That's what everyone said about Boston Garden, Maple Leaf Gardens, The Fabulous Forum in Montreal... THAT list goes on. In the end, creating more revenue wins out every time, right or wrong. Yes, the Yanks hardly need any more revenue, but that's the way of the world. Fenway won't last forever, neither will Wrigley... its only a matter of time. |

I wonder who gets to push the plunger when Yankee Stadium goes down...that infamous Yankee-killer David Ortiz?
They should let Jeffrey Maier do it - after all, he's the one that started this recent run of World Series/American League success.

No, no, no. For all the talk of the "A-Rod Curse" or the "Patrick Ewing Curse," the man who should blow it up MUST be the man responsible for two organizations championship runs:
Buck Showalter.
Simmons and his stupid Ewing theory holds no water, as the Knicks have gotten progressively worse since he left. A-Rod? Kind of holds water, but teams he left haven't won squat as of yet. Showalter, on the other hand, has taken two teams "to the brink" (well... sorta), only to leave and have those teams win it all the following year. I say let the REAL curse blow it up. Him or have a nice, big bar that a bunch of Yankee greats can all push down - Rizzuto, Bera, Reggie, Donnie Baseball, etc. There's like 10 I can think of.
Actually, damn - let The Boss do it. For all the horrible things George Costanza accurately accuses Big Stein of, he HAS built them into the dominant business they are.

steinbrenner is doing it now instead of later to expose a massive loophole in the current revenue sharing agreement, before it gets corrected. it will be a sad day for baseball when the house that ruth built gives way to the house that steinbrenner built... but george is smart to do it now. details of the revenue sharing plan below... www.baseballprospectus.com/article.php?articleid=3293That's what everyone said about Boston Garden, Maple Leaf Gardens, The Fabulous Forum in Montreal... THAT list goes on. In the end, creating more revenue wins out every time, right or wrong. Yes, the Yanks hardly need any more revenue, but that's the way of the world.
