Dealing with the death of old Yankee Stadium
  1. One of the things about riding the 4 train was getting a little glimpse inside the stadium ... It was a beautiful place. The new place is a cathedral, I'm sure, but it was unnecessary.

  2. I saw Mantle and Kaline and Berra and my favorite, Whitey Ford— the players I'd listened to on radio because we didn't have TV yet. But it was the most magnificent stadium I'd ever seen — and it still is.

  3. I'm not sure why it has to go because it's still in pretty good shape ... But they built a new stadium and I guess you can't have this one sticking around. But we're making way for a great park for the community.

  4. It's a very sad thing, but the fact it was renovated took away some of the originality ... So, it doesn't hurt me as much seeing the old one come down as it would have.

  10. Death and dying is a major issue for everyone ... But it's something we all have to deal with. … We all had a lot of great memories, but hopefully this (new) place will create just as many.
