A tale of two New York teams

Ok, by the time this entry goes up, the local baseball season will be underway. The Yankees open the final season at The House That Ruth Built. In all the hoopla about the last season for the big ballpark, sentimentality and revisionist history are the norm. The ‘current’ Yankee Stadium is really The House That George (Steinbrenner) remodeled, only somewhat resembling the ball yard the Bombers of Babe Ruth’s time played in.
The Mets, with lefty gun Johan Santana starting in Florida Monday afternoon, are saying good bye to Shea Stadium after the season.
Both teams will be LUCKY to make the playoffs.
