Penn Station's sad ending did at least spur a preservation movement that's been fairly successful. But I don't recall much of an effort to save Yankee Stadium. I don't remember now if George was already non compos mentos when the plans were laid down. I just don't understand how anyone could deliberately destroy The House That Ruth Built. Because that's not where the Yankees play anymore. The saddest part...I never got to take in a game at that real Yankee Stadium. It's one thing that bugs me and sometimes makes me think I'm a sham of a Yankee fan. Just a thoughtless project to replace pure baseball history with a shopping mall disguised as a ball park. Sorry about that Rizz. You never know. I went to my first Yankee Stadium game in 1959, so that was the real old one with the monuments in the field of play and 461 feet to left center and Eddie Layton on the organ was the only non-baseball entertainment. It was overwhelming on that first visit. |

With Cole having this love affair with Rortvedt does that give Rortvedt the inside track for a job next year? It would be nice if he was hitting, but he’s better than a .110 hitter… and has some pop. When he throws, it’s quite a show. Like the ball is on a string from the plate to second base… No way to keep three catchers on the MLB roster next season. Someone is getting sent down, and Higgy is likely not going to be re-signed. |

I know my friend Joe Simas saw several games at Yankee Stadium, one of which Mickey Mantle hit his 500th home run. |

There weren't many 500 HR guys at that time -- I'm thinking only Babe, Foxx, Williams, Ott and Mays before Mick. Off of Stu Miller, junkballer supreme. |

Pearson's gift, a walk to Rortvedt. Bases loaded.

Another Springer diving catch, or that clears the bases.
