I’d like to see a Fenway Top 10 too. Unfortunately, nothing interesting ever goes on there. What can you talk about? The stupid Green Monster 10 times. HAHA!

I’m a Yankee fan, and I love history, but I have to say, it was time for Yankee Stadium to go. The stadium that Ruth, Gehrig, Joe D and the Mick played in died back in the seventies. What stood in its place had some nice moments, but let’s face it, the interior had the charm of a bus station.

All things must past, and the only constant is change. Look on the bright side: in 85 years, when they close Yankee Stadium III, they’ll put Yankee Stadium IV in the same lot that Yankee Stadiums I and II were.

And one more thing. Am I the only the realizes that we’re not even talking about the original Yankee stadium? Ruth, Mantle, Gehrig, and the rest never played on this field. I FEEL LIKE I’M TAKING CRAZY PILLS!!!!!

A group of friends and I went on a man-cation to Yankee Stadium, Fenway, and Cooperstown a few years back, and I can honestly say that Yankee Stadium is/was a smelly trash heap. No room in the aisles, rudest fans on the planet, and smells like a diaper. If history tells us anything, it’s that history is overrated. New stadium is long overdue.

You know what the funniest part about the Yankee’s is? The lore about what the term “Yankee” meant to the Europeans back prior to and around the Revolutionary War. It meant “Hick” or “Hill-billy” as we would call it today. And then they become the “great” Baseball team in one of America’s biggest and best Cities. The New York Red-Necks just doesn’t have the same ring though.

Makes you think about that famous jingle “Yankee doodle” doesn’t it! But that’s a can of worms that I won’t open here.

Not trying to be facetious but what’s the appeal to Wrigley field exactly? Being a Yankee fan, I’m obviously biased toward “The Stadium” as being one of the greatest places on Earth. I understand that the Cubs have been around a long time and all but how does their history even come close to the Yankee’s history? I can agree that Wrigley and Fenway are a close 2nd and 3rd (in whatever order you wish) but it’s unfair to all to try and compare them with The Stadium. Forget about the Pope, the Jehovah Witness convention and the countless concerts, football games and boxing matches…the baseball history alone is overwhelming. Ruth, Mantle, Gehrig and DiMaggio are four of the greatest players of any sport and all four played on that field and stood in that batters box. 26 World Championships, countless playoff games and more hall of famers existed on that field than anywhere else.

Wrigley, on the other hand, is barely ever open in October over the past 100 years, let alone seen any success and only a handful of greatness. No disrespect to the Cubs/Sox fans here but you just cannot fairly compare the two.

Camden Yards is the best stadium in all of baseball.

..Well, before the stupid Hilton they just put in. But it’s still an awesome stadium.
