Talking Baseball

Florida will not be in the playoffs (sorry, but that list was getting long) this year.

In reading the various farewell-to Yankee-Stadium essays (Paul Simon wrote one, of course), I was reminded that, though I am not a Yankee fan (1961-2 doesn't really count; I had rooted for the Buffalo Bisons and the Milwaukee Braves previously, and went on to root for other teams), I have seen a couple of games in the House that Ruth Built.  After the mid-'70s renovation, unfortunately, so I missed out on the 79,000 capacity and the gingerbread facade.  The grass was green, I'll say that for them.
