News Flash: We’re in a recession. Oh, that’s old news? Tell that to the Yankees (and Cowboys and Mets.) All three are opening state-of-the-art stadiums this year, and all three are pressing forward in an attempt to pretend the economy doesn’t affect them. (How else can you explain Jerry Jones trying to hold out for [...]

Is it summer yet? No? Okay. In that case, here are some links to keep you entertained while we eagerly await the reporting by pitchers and catchers. – Students in Newark, Ohio are taking part in a new pilot program called “Giants Geometry” that allows classrooms to learn about shapes in baseball stadiums by virtually [...]

Me and the guys were going back-and-forth via e-mail this morning, trying to come up with a valid plan for this year’s trip(s). One of the key sticking points is whether or not we all want to spend the time and money to see a game at the Metrodome, or skip it, put that money [...]

A couple weeks ago we were seriously debating whether we should go to Toronto for our 2009 trip. If you recall, Jeff and Steve B. had the nerve to get their wife pregnant and propose to their girlfriend, respectively, so our options are limited this summer; it was going to be either Toronto or Minnesota. [...]
Citi Field & Yankee Stadium Links

In 2009, only two new stadiums will be christened on Opening Day: the new Yankee Stadium, and Citi Field. And if you’re one of the three readers who regularly use this blog, you will remember that last year we visited Shea Stadium and the old Yankee Stadium to pay our respects. Of course, this means [...]
Our plans for 2009.

When we got back from New York City, we were pretty dead set on traveling to Chicago and Milwaukee next summer. But thanks to an impending wedding and an incoming baby, it appears that, like most everybody else in the universe, we’re cutting back in 2009. Rather then spending a few days on the road, [...]
Changes are Afoot

When our trip ended last year, we posted our rankings and promptly went away, resurfacing sporadically to announce the next trip, or update our readers with scintillating acounts of our attempts to score tickets to Yankee Stadium. Hardly the way a proper blog should be run. So this year, I’m happy to say that there [...]
The Anti-Tribute to Yankee Stadium
Posted in General, tagged baseball, new york yankees, sports, yankee stadium on September 18, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
Bugs & Cranks is doing something that will be considered blasphemous by the Yankee faithful: they’re compiling an anti-tribute to Yankee Stadium. I guess if you’re sick of reading the hundreds of posts about true Yankee Stadium memories (or if you just hate the Bombers) this is a nice change of pace.
