Tenant: New York Yankees (AL) - Opened: April 18, 1923 - Closed: September 30, 1973 - Reopened: April 15, 1976 - First night game: May 28, 1946 - Surface: Merion Bluegrass. To my friends, I have been around for a long long time. I have seen heroes come and go. Heroes have been born within my walls of concrete and steel, and they have died on the inside while standing in front of a Microphone telling the world that they wouldn't have it any other way. I am a landmark of unequaled proportions in the greatest city in the world. My sons, the players on the greatest franchise to ever exist in the history of sports, have experienced much more glory and adulation than pain and disappointment (that's for the Red Sox to experience). We have not won a championship since the year 2000, but trust in the Yankees, despite their mistakes... despite the mis management of scouting... despite all the close but no cigars they have had in the last half a decade... this I promise... my friends: They will be back. Besides the 80's we have won a championship, in fact more than one, in every decade of my existence. The General will fix our problems. Players who fail to perform under the brightest spotlight will change or change uniforms. (Alex is the goat this year) We will be back. Remember '96. Remember Tino. Remember Donnie Baseball playing through pain to help build a dynasty which he could not experience. Remember Derek Jeter coming in as a rookie, and playing with class to this day. Remember Mo Rivera and his dominance. Remember Scott Brocious and his clutch post season hits, and near flawless play in the field. Remember the Warrior Paulie O'neil. Remember Bernie Williams because you won’t meet a classier man on or off the diamond. Remember Pettite, Cone, Rocket. Forget David Wells and his turncoat ways. Forget the failures of late and look forward to more Red Sox disappointment and a continuation of Success for our boys in pinstripes. The time is now. My time is nearly done. I will cease to exist in 2009, but a brother of mine will be born, and he will continue on with the family tradition of class, grace, honor, success, and bringing home championships. I am the house that Ruth built and I love you all.
Also anyone who is a real Yankee fan should delete this clown, who resorted to insulting people because they disagreed with "her" A-rod opinions. Anyone who is blindly supporting A-rod, or who is supporting based on the fact that they think he is "cute" or "nice" is obviously not a true fan. Sick of these clowns. Anyway feel free to message "her" or delete her ass: http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewpro file&friendID=47225497
