I didn't know that Yankee Stadium was being replaced.Wasn't it fully rehabbed not too long ago?
My Dad took me to a Red Sox game at the Stadium about 40 years ago.I couldn't understand why everyone around me was giving me dirty looks when I rooted for the Sox ;-)

It was rehabbed around 1972-1975, about thirty years ago. And Yankee Stadium isn't being replaced. Call it George's Gorge, or McCoombs Dam Park, but Babe didn't play right there, Mickey didn't patrol center, Gehrig wasn't on first, Scooter was never at short there. Whitey didn't pitch 32+ shutout World Series innings there, Yogi didn't win 10 series there, Crocetti didn't get 17 rings there, and three perfect games [one in the Series] weren't pitched there.
As of 2009, Yankee Stadium will be gone. I won't set foot in the new ball park.

It was just a matter of time, GSC, I figured that Yankee Stadium would be next after Tiger and Candlestick.
Your reception for cheering for the Sox doesn't surprise me, lol! I was subjected to a small amount of derision in 1962-1963, when my Dad took us to games at the old Colt Stadium in Houston. Got to see the Milwaukee Braves w/ Warren Spahn, and the Cardinals w/ Stan Musial. I still have the Braves & Cardinals pennants I bought at those games. People did make a few comments, but I figured I'd always be able to get a Colt 45's pennant. I was wrong! ;>(

How are those Sox doing this weekend in "Fenway Pak" against the Yankees? Wonder how much you're enjoying that series.
Sorry, couldn't resist.
