But you did indeed bring up great points about how my beloved Yankees can sometimes spit on their own…case in point we should have also mentioned-Tino Martinez being King George’s scapegoat for the 2001 World Series loss..notice how they haven’t won since 2000…fate is punishing King George with The Curse of Tino.

thanks for the heads up about AK’s posts. I’ll check them out.

Yes I went back and forth between the team and the stadium. In this instance it’s fitting since really the two are intertwined for the vast history of the franchise. Most teams can’t really say that, even Wrigley Field wasn’t built with the Cubs in mind.

I just thought I’d bring out some of the moments in Yankee Stadium history that the other half of us would like to hear more often, but don’t. If you want a good review…see the stuff that Andrew put up a couple of posts below.

If you gotta photo of a yellow river near Fenway, I’m all for it. They’re turning into Evil Empire Jr. with their recent success.

Secondly, you’re all over the map here. Is your point who gives a bleep about Yankee Stadium or is it who gives a bleep about the Yankee franchise? Or is it both?

I’m a Yankee fan but I do indeed agree on many points.
I too have had ENOUGH of all the “last time this last time that” spewing from people like Michael Kay and the other circus monkeys in the YESNetwork booth.

Yes, Casey and Billy were treated horribly and THAT’S an understatment-especially in Billy’s case.

The shabby way most Yankee fans treated Roger Maris in 1961 during his chase of Ruth’s homerun record is unforgivable.
But you can’t compare the way Giants fans reacted to The Player Who Formerly Wore 25 and his roided up race for the season homerun record. Of course Giants fans will cheer him. But remember, he wasn’t chasing Babe Ruth. If the Player Who Formerly Wore 25 was a Yankee and chasing Ruth’s fat ghost he would have been boo’d too.

Is Suzyn “Whats-Her-Face” a frikkin joke? YES! Goes without saying.
Mel Allen should actually be held up as the voice of the Yankees. Not Walrus Face.

Has the Yanks spending tossed the financial picture of the game out of whack? Yes, but they certainly aren’t the only offenders.

And for all the talk from Yankee-haters about the Yanks “buying titles” fact is you can look at virtually any championship era, any championship team and the majority of those players were home grown talents. So can we please officially end the Yankees buy titles argument because it doesn’t wash.
Yes, they have thrown good money after bad in the past 7-8 years in “an attempt” to gain an edge but it hasn’t worked.

Anyway, is it time to tear the Stadium down? Yes, but come on guys…have a little respect for one of the most famous venues in the world.

In closing Yanks rule and I hope the rest of the world keeps hating us. Your anquish sustains us all.

Thanks,
Dave
p.s. Nice offensive photo flipping the bird, lol! I love the Yankees but that pic got the message across. Note, if I can find the pic of me taking a squirt on the side of Fenway I’ll send it along…it’ll trump giving Yankee Stadium the bird.

Note I didn’t even discuss the greatest collapse in baseball postseason history. I guess I was being nice or something.

Now’s that a great way to say it. This should be published somewhere for real people to read. You said the truth.

You witnessed what I’ve seen many times in the past. The most spoiled rotten fans in the world wiped away the tears early to have them turn into cheers in the end. What a surprise!

I could easily write the script. I wish somebody would pay me to do so.

I agree good riddance. I just hope what’s happened in that building stays there. Next year, we can start fresh.

Yours truly,

Gary Herman
