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.

Tell us how you really feel, PzLdr! I ache at the thought of Yankee Stadium's demise.
