Today I heard the news. The Yankees and New York are building a new Yankee stadium to be ready for the 2009 season. Even though it has been remodled several times, the stadium is still the space roamed by the greatest players to ever wear a uniform.
Some of my earliest baseball memories are of Yankee world series games. They were the first team of any kind I had any feelings for. Before the Denver Broncos, L.A. Lakers, UNM Lobos or even the Aztec Tigers, I was rooting for the Bronx Bombers playing at Yankee stadium.
The Mick was my first hero outside my family. This is where he roamed center field and smashed the tater into the upper decks.
I know it is probably time. And it will be a good thing for the team and the city. I am only glad I was able to finally attend a couple of games at the stadium in my 53rd year.
Maybe I will have opportunity to attend another, I have the rest of this year, and then three more seasons.
