Maris din’t hit #61 in “The New Yankee Stadium”. Larsen, Wells and Cone didn’t pitch perfect games there. And Gehrig didn’t play first, Mick didn’t play center, Ford didn’t pitch, Yogi and thurman didn’t catch there, and Ruth never hit the snot out of a baseball there...

Ya, but in Pittsburgh, I can take you to a hunk of the left-center field wall where Mazirosoki's home run in 1960 beat the Mighty Yanks in game seven. The people with the serious nostalgia thing for baseball gather there every October 13 to reminisce.

No matter how much you love your wife, you can't make her like she's 20 years old again, and you can't make an old dilapidated ball park attractive to 20 year olds either.

There's a point where ball teams have to move on. It is a business after all.

but when they turn 40 their memories are golden
and they remember. Sure they go to the modern venues
but they go to Wrigley to experience baseball.

Go Cubs.

I don’t disagree. I wasn’t opposed to a new Stadium. I’m pissed because they didn’t build it where the old Stadium had been.

And as for 1960, that’s still the only Series the Yankees lost that REALLY pisses me off [1981 against the Dodgers comes second]. The only upside was that it cost Stengel his job. Whitey should have pitched Game 1, instead of 2. then he would have pitched 4, and 7.
