I was trying to think of Yankees not named A-Rod who had played for the Rangers - only Tex and Pudge (who was only a Yankee for 2 months or so) came to mind.
Still, by the end of his career, A-Rod will have played considerably more years here than he played with either the Rangers or the Mariners. He'll go into the Hall as a Yankee.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!

But, thankfully, the Parthenon and Colosseum still stand.Attached Files

My brother said he once wandered into a room at Renovated YS and when he looked inside, he saw a long, cavernous area, with old wooden seats sloping up toward this ceiling hanging over. Only a few rows of the seats were exposed, for there was concrete covering the first few rows, and the back rows receded directly into the ceiling above. He said he got "spooked" and did not want to get in any trouble, so he got right out of there. But he could never remember where he was in the stadium when he opened that door, and he could never locate it again.
Does anyone know where these "mummified" Old Yankee Stadium seats are located? I don't think I have seen, anywhere in the media or even on BBF, that there are places in the stadium where you could see such a thing. I think they must have extended the seats in the upper deck, and built a practically new lodge level on top of the old one. It kind of looks that way from these photos, but it's hard to tell.Attached Files

Originally posted by Anubis2051 View PostDoes anyone have any pictures of that area? I've always wanted to see it, but I've not once seen a picture. But then again, I guess if Gary doesn't have one, no one does.

could it have somehow been the back rows of the old loge or main level seating that had the concessions built over them? Maybe there were spots where they just put a room over them, leaving the rows intact...."I might have been given a bad break, but I've got an awful lot to live for."
