$1,923.00

That’s how much a pair of seats from Yankee Stadium are going to cost according to Mike Roznac of Authentic Stadium Seats whom I spoke with earlier today:

“They haven’t made the official announcement yet, but that’s what my sources have been telling me. $1,923 – to commemorate the opening of the stadium in 1923.

The old wooden seats from 1923 and also the 1940’s sell currently for $2000 and we fully expect that price to shoot to $2500-3000 each based on the history behind the nostalgic wooden seats versus the modern plastic seats.”

What’s amazing is that even in the current market, with Wall Street tanking, the demand for these seats is expected to be through the roof.

>Appreciate Martin Brodeur

>Good luck to Marty & The Devils as they embark on another season.

Martin Brodeur is one of the all-time hockey players, and arguably the best goalie of all time.

He had the misfortune to play for a franchise nobody cares about, and at a time when hockey did some stupid things such as not playing a season (that will hurt your career stats) and the even stupider move of not starting the 1994-95 season on time.

On 1994-95 for a second:   the Rangers had won the cup and the NHL had a network deal with Fox.  Hockey was cool and sexy, and Fox was excited to push the NHL as hard as they pushed NFL.   Starting that season in January killed all of the buzz and the elague never recovered.    (Not keeping Messier on the Rangers didn’t help).

Meanwhile during 15 years of the NHL wandering thru the desert, Marty has won three rings with three coaches and a different supporting cast.   He will wind up with most of the career goalie records.  

If this guy were a Ranger there would be a statue of him outside the Garden.

Enjoy him while he’s around and remember that whatever team is playing the Rangers is the team I am rooting for.
