NOT THE BEST IDEA...

I just read that the Yanks are going to allow fans on the field for three hours on Sunday - from 1:00 until 4:00. In 1956, my Dad took us to New York for the World Series. After every game, fans could exit by going onto the field (the infield was cordoned off) and out a gate in center field. We did that and if I could ever find the jacket I wore, there is still a handful of Yankee Stadium grass in the pocket (center field, of course). Imagine what thousands of crazed fans are going to do on Sunday. I have a feeling they will excavate more warning track dirt than a fleet of backhoes. The "warning track" may become a "warning canyon": "Damon goes back and...well, he's disappeared, folks."

Jeter has the most hits in Yankee Stadium (1273). Who has the most hits at Shea Stadium? Eddie Kranepool (691).

Boston has 462 straight sell-outs. Tampa Bay sells out every time...an LL COOL J
concert follows the game. Thought you might want to know.
