I only enjoy going to Yankee games with my son. Since he is in Florida and I am in CT, we haven't had a chance to go to the new Yankee Stadium.

I wish they had upgraded Yankee stadium again. I like thinking of being in the same place as Ruth, Gehrig, Dimaggio, Mantle and Berra inhabited.

My chance of going to the new Mets Stadium is greater as a friend of mine has wanted to go down. It was modeled after the old Ebbetts Field. I sure wish my older family members had taken me before they were torn down. Oh Well!!!

I heard on the radio this morning that Gary Carter was the heir apparent to Johnny Bench. Brain cancer is a tough thing to go through as my cousin was recently diagnosed. Gary put up a tough fight but obviously lost his battle. At least he is not in pain anymore.

RIP - Gary
