Creative Writing: The Day The House Of Ruth Came Down
The Day the House of Ruth Came Down
I still remember like it was yesterday when the New York Yankees were making the announcement that that were tearing down the Old Yankee Stadium and building the new one. "I was extremely sad to a house of Ruth, come down."
The entire baseball ghost of the past, the legends, the championships, the only perfect game ever pitched in a World Series game was coming to an end.
Rumor has it that they were thinking of moving the team out of the Bronx.
I said" Are you freaking kidding me, how the heck are you moving the Yankees out of the Bronx." "We are called the Bronx Bomber's for a reason."
Thankfully that never took place, and the moved the team across the street. This new stadium is beautiful but it has no identity, the tickets are way over priced, it has evolved into a more corporate environment. …show more content…
That is partly because real fans like me can't afford those ticket prices. Well maybe the bleachers…lol!
Even the bleachers have lost its mystique, no more "bleacher creatures." I remember the Captain Derek Jeter, thanking the fans and saying now we make some new memories at the new stadium. The whole speech, sounded great but for me it sounded bit contrived.
Well in all honesty since 2009 that Yankees have not done squat in to get us another championship, thanks to Arod, and Godzilla (Hideki Matsui) for making that happen for us. Of course others contributed, but really we the fans know who back we rode all the way to becoming world champions in 2009. So my friends, the house that Ruth built is no more; but the legacy of the Yankees continue, but in corporate way! Until my next post, enjoy and be
