Default Opening Day....Yankee Stadium 1923....and today

Posted By: Bruce Dorskind

We have had Yankee box seats located just a few rows from the field for many years

Today we attended our 16th Opening Day. Whilst the result of the game was disappointing,
the new stadium is fantastic. For those in the luxury seats, it is the ultimate in private
service. special entrance and comfort. Many notable New Yorkers including the Governor
Mayor, former Mayer and dozens of former Yankee and baseball greats (as well as host) of
the city's most famous and powerful were there to bless the new stadium.

The Yankees have a wonderful museum, countless high end shops and the best and most demanding fans
in the world. We hope that their relief pitching improves and that bats of bottom half of the lineup
come to life.

Perhaps the nicest part of the day was when the Yankees interviewed a 99-year old man who shared his recollections
of the first Opening Day in 1923. That game was witnessed by a crowd that was 40% larger than today's crowd

A great day, perfect weather in the world's greatest city with the world's most demanding fans.

Who could ask for anything more?
