NEW YORK TIMES "Outside the old Yankee Stadium, fans young and old would gather along barricades near the players’ entrance, waiting for a chance to get the most coveted of baseball keepsakes — an autograph.
"Players had to walk from their parking lot across a small street, Ruppert Place, to a private stadium entrance by the press gate, exposing them — even just for a minute or two — to the pleas of Yankee-crazed kids and autograph seekers before and after games.
"But the new Yankee Stadium has ended this beloved ritual in the Bronx. The Yankees relocated the players’ parking area behind the stadium walls, meaning that players now drive in and out in luxury vehicles, protected from curious eyes by tinted windows."
****the yankees do not have to make it tough for the kids to see the players. the average family can no longer afford to go to the yankee stadium because of its ticket and food prices. actually, we don't understand why they have to charge so much since the yankee organization has cheated the city out of millions of dollars during the construction of the unnecessary new stadium. also, do you pay taxes? the yankees have some very cool ways of not paying all its proper taxes. just ignore them.
the yankee organization is a bunch of thugs.
