O/T - Steinbrenner Monument
Anyone else appalled by the size of the Steinbrenner monument? Don’t get me wrong, I’m a lifelong Yankee fan who’s been a backer of him and his antics for his entire tenure. He deserves a monument as well as enshrinement in Cooperstown, in my opinion. But to have a monument that dwarfs those of the other Yankee greats is beyond scandalous. I, for one, have lost a lot of respect for the entire organization today. Mantle always insisted that DiMaggio’s plaque (and subsequent monument) be slightly taller than his. What does this monstrosity signify? That Steinbrenner was more important to the team, their history and legacy than Ruth, Gehrig, DiMaggio and Mantle combined? A sad day, the powers that be clearly do not get it.
