Mets Police went to the Bronx last night. What struck me were the amount of flashbulbs every time Jeter and A-Rod stepped in. A random mid-inning at-bad in a blowout, and it’s like Game 7 of the World Series. Every time.
Now don’t get me wrong, I love Bob Sheppard and want him to be back at Yankee Stadium and I want him to be in the Hall of Fame – but two things.
1. I’m getting really used to Jim Hall. It actually sounds “weird” to me when Shep-on-tape intros Jeter.
2. The Shep-on-tape would be cool once per game. It loses the magic when it’s every time.
I’m starting to think that Yankee Stadium III might be, oh, “New Comiskey.” Citi Field looks like it will have the charm of some of the newer parks (like my Stadium Crush on Citizens Bank Park) – and YS3 looks like a big monolith, that’s on 161st and River but on the wrong side of the street. I really don’t understand staying in that area if you’re not where the ghosts are.
ghosts are for scary stories and horror flicks. Not baseball.
The new Stadium won’t be Comiskey like. Don’t worry.
