With the new Yankee Stadium slated to open in 2009, Major League Baseball will be announcing in the near future has announced that they have chosen Yankee Stadium to host the 2008 Major League Baseball All-Star Game.
The American League is slated to host the game in 2008 so what better way to close out the rich history of Yankee Stadium. I am by no means a Yankees fan but rather a Red Sox fan who is also a baseball purist. I have always enjoyed my visits to the Bronx to see the Sox-Yanks and also against the Major League Affiliates for which I worked for during my years working in minor league baseball in New Haven.
For the baseball fan if you haven’t visited Yankee Stadium and done the Monument Park tour, I highly suggest that you do. It is one of the most amazing things in baseball besides Cooperstown to do. It will leave you breathless. Yes, I know that the players honored there are Yankee greats but to me it is about the history of the game. I have been on the field at Yankee Stadium and even sat in the dugout. To think that I sat where many of the greats in baseball have sat to me, is priceless. Those are memories which I will never forget.
