I don’t disagree. I wasn’t opposed to a new Stadium. I’m pissed because they didn’t build it where the old Stadium had been.

And as for 1960, that’s still the only Series the Yankees lost that REALLY pisses me off [1981 against the Dodgers comes second]. The only upside was that it cost Stengel his job. Whitey should have pitched Game 1, instead of 2. then he would have pitched 4, and 7.

Isn't the new stadium right next door to the old?

Where would the Yanks have played for two years when they tore down the old stadium and built new on the same spot?

As a 12 year old Pirates fan at the time, I thought it was the greatest series ever! The Yanks broke all the series batting records and the Pirates won anyway. ;~))
