And he jsut said staten island at the 26th HR -
Chris Berman's schtik was cute in 1979 when he, ESPN (and cable TV) were a novelty. Now they're all a colossal bore and have made asses of themselves.Comment

Yeah. So far tonight, I've also heard Hunters Point, Pelham, and the moon.
Given some of Hamilton blasts, I'll give Berman a pass. What a power display. What I'd give to see a ball clear the frieze.Comment

The way the cameramen are working tonight, if someone does hit one out they will no doubt miss it.Originally posted by Mario Mendoza...HOF Lock View PostComment

Not only have I already seen it, but I actually bought the paper so I could read it! (I don't normally read the Times, but they mentioned this article on NY1's "In The Papers" segment so I made sure I got a copy.)Originally posted by nymdan View Post
That was a good article. It's interesting to read about life across from Yankee Stadium from the perspective of the people who actually do live there.
Can you, or anyone else, post a still from that 360-degree view from the roof of 831 Gerard?My GIF has been viewed more than 377 million times!

Wouldn't mind living near 1923 or 2009, as long as I had triple-paned glass on the windows in my apt and a good A/C!Originally posted by nymdan View Post
RYS to NYS: "Obi-Lonn never told you what happened to your father."
NYS: "He told me enough. He told me you killed him - in the 1970s!!"
RYS: "No, I am your father..."
NYS: "No, it's not true, that's impossible!!!!"
RYS: "Look beyond my respirator pods and my upper crown; you know it to be true!Comment

Since we are on the topic does anyone beleive that josh gibson actually hit one out of the stadium? I mean he was a B.A.!The one constant through all the years, Ray, has been baseball. America has rolled by like an army of steamrollers. It has been erased like a blackboard, rebuilt and erased again. But baseball has marked the time.Comment

I remember reading an article a while ago somewhere here on BBF that quoted Gibson as saying that he actually hit it across the roof of the left field upper deck and landed in the visiting bullpen.Originally posted by Chevy114 View Post..."I might have been given a bad break, but I've got an awful lot to live for."Comment

Give him a little break--broadcasting is not as easy for him without his 222s.Originally posted by Mario Mendoza...HOF Lock View PostComment

Apparently, but still a prodigious shot. :bowdown:Originally posted by Chevy114 View Post..."I might have been given a bad break, but I've got an awful lot to live for."Comment

There was a really interesting article in the post about some of the hidden places and treasures in Yankee Stadium including the Gehrig pole, secret vault and the championship banners. here's the link: http://www.nypost.com/seven/07142008...780.htm?page=1..."I might have been given a bad break, but I've got an awful lot to live for."Comment

The Yankees switched dugouts in the mid 1940s. Jacob Ruppert died in 1939.
He had nothing to do with the switch.
Once again, the modern "sportswriters" show that they know nothing at all of Yankee history they didn't directly observe. They'll believe, and print, anything they're told (especially if it's Tony Morante that's doing the telling.)Comment
