I feel bad for the people who took off work to go to this "historical" opening day. Actually, I'm pretty sick of hearing it referred to as "historical". From the way that the media is carrying on about it being "the last opening day for the original Yankee Stadium", you would have thought that Babe Ruth himself had come back from the great beyond to throw the first pitch.
I'm glad that they are making a big deal about it because to me it's very historic. The Yankees are IMO the best sports franchise in North American history and Yankee Stadium is one of sport's most hollowed grounds. It won't be the same next year in the "new Yankee Stadium" and some will be crying to go back to the old one.
