Goodbye Yankee Stadium (PG LIV)


This is the final year for two New York ballparks, Shea Stadium and Yankee Stadium will both open new parks next spring. But the house that Ruth built gets the nod to hold the Mid-Summer Classic - the All Star Game. This picture was taken, I'm gonna say, behind Yankee Stadium. It was on the opposite side from the main gates. Located back here under the elevated trains (very noisy, by the way. I can't believe you can't hear it when watching a game on TV) there were bars and souvenir shops. Very New York. This mural includes favorites Babe, Lou and Joe, the other guys I can not see well enough. No 'Cheater' Jeter. No 'E'-Rod. And none of them have thick necks and big heads, so we know they ain't Clemens or Giambi. But seriously, Goodbye Yankee Stadium, we'll hate to lose an icon.
