MCMXX-It's Time To Come Out From Under That Dome Into The Fresh Air

By then, DFYankees will be treated to that domed feeling with the Famous Rays Team, at "The Toilet", on Tuesday and Wednesday:

The Yankees are Incredibly-Mediocre and Blase';

And, THIS Season, will not have a 6 Week Stretch of Sub 500 Teams to feast on, like last year, when FOX was worried about Ol' Derek and "Miss October", Ol' A-Jerk;

It looks like a cross between 1965 and 1966. a mixture of Old Guys, no Super Farm Talent and "Me" Players, as "The Museum Of Mystique And Aura"(The Toilet), faces the end of Baseball there, on Sunday, September 21st, @ 1:05PM;

Ironically, a Hockey Game will close it, in October, on NBC, in Prime Time, and that's it;

AND Tampa's not going away and it'll be a LONG # of Years for The Yankees. The "Fashionable Arrivistas" may show for about the 1st half of '09 at "The New Toilet", as the '09 Team will not be good. The Small Market Teams are making a Comeback, which is a Good Thing for The Game;

Tampa is getting a New Facility as is Miami, by 2011, while The Mets Quasi-Relive Ebbets Field for the Corporate Hacks, who wouldn't know if The Dodgers ever played in Brooklyn, or if the old Polo Grounds, had a String of Polo Ponies(Poloponies from Ralph Kramden-Lol), perhaps thinking that Frank Gifford pitched there;

And, on the subject of new parks, and despite the expansion of Fenway Park, will John Henry and Company, be thinking of further expansion of the facility, or maybe building a New Fenway Park?

And, Wrigley Field, reportedly is falling apart, after years of selling aura in an old park. Neglect doesn't make for Great Baseball;

I was at the closing of "The Toilet", on September 30th, 1973, when, despite all its' History, was an Old Dump, which had seen better days, 35 Years ago. Duke Sims, then a Yankees Catcher, hit the last-ever Home Run, in the Old Bronx Ball Yard;

BTW, Amy at "Professor Thom's", is delightful to talk to and fits right in with the atmosphere;

I think that this week, I'm going to one last Friday Night Game in "The Dump"(Shea Stadium). I'm not waiting for September;

Ciao-Later!
