Sickening


Slowly but surely a crime against American sports history proceeds unabated. Yankee Stadium, a site of so many great events in its glorious history, sadly marches to its death. I'd have to imagine even people who hate the Yankees must think this is horrible. I hate the Red Sox but I'd feel sick if Fenway were to be torn down.

The Almighty dollar takes another victim. For luxury suites and Hard Rock Cafe (and a friggin' butcher shop) the Yankees see fit to destroy their historic home. The House That Ruth Built! I'm wondering just how much of this country will be worth preserving in 50 years. I boycotted that new stadium last season. Probably do the same next year.

Yeah, I've brought this up before but I still can't believe it.
