On a related note .... I've read in the papers here in Ireland of the impending closure of Yankee Stadium for pastures new. I always have a conflict of emotions when such things occur, the nostalgia - in yer case, watching the likes of Di Maggio, Mantle, Ruth etc and other legends of the game in The house that Ruth built. Then you look at the state of the art stadiums built to replace them, where luxury and comfort begin to offset the nostalgia.....

Another snippet I read this morning was that Barry Bonds can't find a team for next season .. has the guy become a pariah (ahem OJ) of the baseball world ?
