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

I went to opening day at the Stadium last year. Forty Dollars for parking, over $100 per ticket, and we froze our butts off!!! But now that I live in Florida, I knew that my opportunities to go to the Stadium would be few. I have been to hundreds of games at the Stadium and I wanted to make sure I went to at least one in the new Stadium. The Stadium is beautiful and first class all the way. Maybe I'm getting cynical, but it seems like everything has gone "corporate" now. The prices are ridiculously expensive. Long gone are the days when you can cut school and go see a day game for a couple of dollars.
