I know I sound like a broken record, but I can't help how I feel. Looking at that panoramic of the old Yankee Stadium, does anyone kinda wish the Yankees could press Control+Z and just undo the new ballpark?
ReplyDeleteI mean, it's beautiful and has all sorts of features and amenities that the old place didn't have...but it's just not the same. Maybe we'll grow into it and someday it'll feel like home, but right now I just feel really nostalgic when I see the old Yankee Stadium. Part of me wishes we could get it back somehow.
