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.

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!

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.

It's 8:30. I'm surprised he hasn't started yet.

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."

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.)
