Hi Yankees fans, welcome to hell.
Let’s total up rings for this century. Boston 2, Yankees 0. You want to count 2000 even though that was in the 20th century? Fine. 2-1. (I’m well aware that the Mets haven’t won in 23 seasons. WELL aware.)
Now you have your wonderful new home run happy ballpark, with true Yankees like Johnny Damon and A-Rod trying to help you win. The team doesn’t even sell out any more.
Meanwhile…
All nine games at Fenway have been sellouts, extending the Major League record that began in May 2003 to 478 straight full houses.
`I say this in all humility, we pride ourselves with being in touch with our fans. (Team owners) John Henry and Tom Werner came to us and spoke about how much is going on, how we need to be sensitive to what is happening in the country. We froze our ticket prices and our concessions prices. We’ve started the Fenway Family Hour,’’ Kennedy said.
What’s great is that the ballpark is 97 years old, you might actually sit behind a pole, and there’s no talk of replacing it. The Red Sox have become the Yankees, and the Yankees have become the Rockies.
Well done everyone. The Old Yankee Stadium could probably be back in use for the All-Star Break if you’d like to reconsider things.
UPDATE: I forgot to include the link to the Providence Journal.

Can you post a link to that Kennedy interview please?
Sorry about that – meant to!

seeing all this stuff about new stadia in NY, I kept thinking of 2 places – Wrigley Field, and Fenway Park. I love what this Red Sox ownership has done with the park making sure it stays alive and well for many years to come. I am in such awe of the simple fact that Fenway celebrates it’s centennial season 3 years from now (and Wrigley soon after I think). It really makes me wonder WHY we needed new stadia here.
