New York Democratic Rep. José E. Serrano announced Monday that he has Parkinson’s disease and will not seek re-election in 2020. The 75-year-old said he plans to finish his current term, which is his 15th full one in Congress, as the disease has not yet impacted his ability to work. “Today, I am announcing that I am living with Parkinson’s disease,” Serrano said in a statement. “After my diagnosis, I initially planned to continue my work representing the people of the South Bronx far into the future — a responsibility that brings me great joy."

For all the cries of “stick to sports” from those who view athletic events as a respite from the world of politics, even the hardliners must admit it’s getting hard to separate the two. It’s especially hard to avoid combining state and sports when fans are openly campaigning at the ballpark.

BUSH THROWS STRIKE AT YANKEE STADIUM AFTER 9/11 It was a time when we came together as a nation. A time before the Democrats played politics at the expense of our national security. The traitors among us gave aid and comfort to the enemy.

"WHAT'S up, old friend?" I asked the other day. But there was no response. The old friend was muffled, muzzled, unable to say anything, trapped in his new black straitjacket. I looked at him sadly. He looked back silently. I wanted to offer comfort, but what could you say? What could you do? "Thanks for the memories," I said, walking away. And Yankee Stadium -- the old one, the real one, the one presently wrapped by black scaffolding as it undergoes a painful transformation from national treasure and civic landmark to picked-apart, torn-asunder rubble -- didn't say a word. Noble...

The Black Knights will play Air Force at Yankee Stadium in November 2012 and Boston College in November 2014. This is in addition to the Army-Notre Dame 2010 game that was announced on Monday. That will be the first-ever college football game played at the new ballpark, which opened in April....

Yankee Stadium debuts today. The Indians have just scored 9 runs in the 7th inning to take a 10-1 lead, including a grand slam. NYY bullpen falls apart.

America has lost a true friend, Sweden a true champion and my home city, Gothenburg, mourns a great son. Although the quote below is fiction (as far as I know), I think this scene from a certain tv-series depicting the flower power-generation (by Peter Birro, Swedish author/playwriter) says a lot about the spirit of Ingemar Johansson and - not the least - his feelings towards America: Anno domino 1968. Mr Johansson, sitting in a café, notices a bunch of hippie protesters shouting anti-American slogans in the street. Johansson walks out of the café, halting the group with the question: "-...

Lets help those yankees

Deborah Garcia BRONX (CBS) ― Yankees fans have one last chance to say good-bye to the famous Yankee Stadium where Babe Ruth hit his home runs and where they shared countless memories: catching fly balls, snacking on hot dogs, and enjoying America's favorite pastime. Sunday night's game against the Baltimore Orioles is the last time fans will get to sit in the legandary stadium seats, and the last time the New York Yankees will get to hit fast balls and run the bases. Andy Pettitte has pitched some of the most important games at Yankee Stadium over the past 14...

During the Mass for the Fifth Sunday of Easter celebrated 20 April 2008, the Holy Father gave the following homily.   Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, In the Gospel we have just heard, Jesus tells his Apostles to put their faith in him, for he is "the way, and the truth and the life" (Jn 14:6). Christ is the way that leads to the Father, the truth which gives meaning to human existence, and the source of that life which is eternal joy with all the saints in his heavenly Kingdom. Let us take the Lord at his...

This week marks the beginning of the end of a significant chapter in American sports history: the 83rd and final opening day at New York's Yankee Stadium. Slated for Monday, the baseball gods, almost as if seeking to delay the onset of its final season, rained down on the storied ballpark and the game was postponed. This was fitting. Although it is not the oldest, it is certainly the most historic sports venue in the United States. It was home to 30 championship boxing matches, the most famous of which took place in June of 1938 when America's Brown Bomber,...

New $1 billion Yankee Stadium is on deckBy KAREN MATTHEWS, Associated Press Writer August 16, 2006 NEW YORK (AP) -- No tears were shed Wednesday for the historic stadium where Babe Ruth, Mickey Mantle and Joe DiMaggio played out their storied careers. Politicians and baseball officials who gathered to break ground on a new Yankee Stadium shared memories of the old ballpark but said the new one would be even better. "Yankee Stadium is an iconic stadium, a place where Ruth and (Lou) Gehrig played, where popes and presidents have spoken," Gov. George Pataki said. "But so, too, will the...

NEW YORK (AP) -- New York Yankees officials and a score of politicians gathered Wednesday across the street from The House That Ruth Built to break ground for a new billion-dollar Yankee Stadium project. Under a bright sun and in front of a huge rendering of the new stadium, Gov. George Pataki said fans "will be entering an icon" when they come to Yankees games starting in 2009.

Mayor Michael...

NEW YORK - Babe Ruth got a short right-field porch in the original Yankee Stadium. Alex Rodriguez won't be getting similar assistance in New York's new $800 million ballpark. "A-Rod doesn't need any help," Yankees owner George Steinbrenner said Wednesday as the team unveiled plans for the ballpark it hopes to move into in 2009. Flanked by New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg and New York Gov. George Pataki, Steinbrenner did not make a formal statement but responded to questions. Since he bought the team in 1973, the Yankees had examined several ballpark alternatives, including a move to New Jersey...
