A tribute to Yankee Stadium

Picture from April 7, 2007

Instead of writing a new ode to the old cathedral, I figure I'd just link to the one I wrote last spring, "The Mecca of and that is Yankee Stadium," about Section 39 -- the vaunted right-field bleachers, where the fans perform roll call and other shenanigans.

It's cheating, I know, but... ESPN The Mag's blog just linked to it*, so why can't I?

If only the Royals could have won their home closer, the last game they'll EVER play at un-renovated Kauffman Stadium.

POSTSCRIPT: Cookie for anyone who can tell me what the asterisk is for.
