It is a bittersweet day, as the pulling of the seats from the Old Yankee Stadium has begun. Before heading over to WCBS880.com to check out all of the overhead shots, direct your attention to this screen grab from SteinerCollectibles.com:

There we have it, the Yankees and Steiner are boasting about completely selling out Yankees history (from trash cans to bat racks) , while somehow managing to rip off the city they call home. You stay classy, Yankees.
Logging you in...

I was also impressed (and not in a good way) with the bravado of the "Yankees-Steiner took it down!" banner. (http://box323.blogspot.com/2009/05/truth-in-adver... but if I said I was surprised, I'd be lying. This organization spent a decade and a half whining about its home so that we'd buy them a new one, and it worked, so why would they stop now?

"BATTING PRACTICE
Remember fans, on game days, arrive early. Yankee Stadium Gates on Babe Ruth Plaza and Gates 2 and 8, open three hours prior to the start of every home game. All fans are encouraged to arrive early to enjoy batting practice and infield workouts from select areas of the Field Level and the Bleachers; specifically, all fans may watch batting practice and infield workouts from Field Level Sections 103, 104, 105, 106, 107, 108, 109, 110, 111, 129, 130, 131, 132, 133, 134, 135 and 136 and from all Bleachers Sections. Please note, on certain game days the Yankees may elect not to take batting practice, infield workouts or both. Those fans who take advantage of the opportunity to enjoy batting practice and infield workouts from the Field Level and/or the Bleachers may remain until the players leave the field following the conclusion of the Yankees batting practice or 1 hour and 45 minutes after the Gates open. At that time, all fans will be asked to return their respective seats."
