Sacrilege

Yankees break ground on new $1 billion home

Luxury boxes, luxury boxes, luxury boxes.

A billion dollars for a ballpark.

Maybe I'm angry about such an inordinate sum being spent on a ballpark.

Maybe I'm sad because it's where I saw my first game and many games thereafter - probably at least 30, maybe 40 games, many in the bleachers during summers when the Yankees absolutely SUCKED.

Maybe I'm ticked off that a historic structure, and the site of many important moments is being razed and tossed aside for the latest new thing.

No matter which, I'm just upset.
