New York Yankees Examiner: Yankees want even more of your money
Andrew Mees, Mets Examiner, admitted, “When dealing with Shea, you’re dealing with a stadium that held a special spot in the hearts of Mets fans…and basically no one else in the world. Yankee Stadium is America’s Roman Coliseum – I’m sure nobody came from the far corners of the world to check out old Shea.”
A bit more regretfully, Shannon Shark, NY Sports Examiner weighed in saying, “The Yanks have their new house decorated. The Mets sold everything and then realized there’s nothing for a museum. Boy it would be nice to have Seaver’s locker but they sold it.”
The rest is here.
the Mets haven’t sold everything yet. I posted on my blog today links to a few items on the auction block that SHOULD be found somewhere inside Citi Field. A few others things that I didn’t link to if you can find them.
