Honking, train tracks, and heckling woke me up. I was in the city that never sleeps. Today was an important day for everyone here, the Yankees were playing. However It was not just a regular game in the season, it was Derek Jeter’s last home game. Countless stories that I’ve have heard about this place were true. The people are loud mouthed, there is no parking, and it smells like pee everywhere. Bronx, New York is truly a place one needs to visit. After my father and I paid twenty dollars for our parking spot, we had to walk 5 blocks to get to the stadium. This was not my first trip through the rugged terrain, my season tickets paid off, I was prepared for these streets and the angry cab drivers. The hectic side walks were as gum filled as my high school desks and the promoters buzzed into anyone’s ear they could influence. No one got along outside of Yankee Stadium, everyone was competing against each other. Whether is was the ticket sharks, homeless looking for change, or cars looking to switch lanes, the controversy was all around.
“Arms up sir” the guard said. I was being searched at the gates. I stepped forward and handed the pretty lady my ticket.
“Enjoy the game honey” she said, and I strolled through heavens gates to see the most beautiful diamond known to sports. I am not the type to spend money stadium food but tonight was special. That aside my father and I headed to the cheesesteak stand then made our way to the seats. Not seats exactly, but the bleachers in
The “New York Yankees” is the baseball team that has won 18 division titles, 40 AL pennants, and 27 World Series championships, all of which are Major League Baseball records. It makes great records and great success each year. And the impact it has on the global economy is huge. Major League Baseball is an oligopoly dominated by a few firms.
One of the biggest events that really sparked the start of the new interest of baseball was the building of the new New York Yankee stadium. By the outside being painted, light towers being placed in the outfield, a two story concession stand being built, and corporate boxes being put in, the Yankee’s manager, Leland “Larry” MacPhail, was really setting the stage as to what baseball and baseball parks would turn
“At the time of world campion New York Yankees opens their home season” this statement has shown that the field is not a national treasure but it is owed by the New York Yankees. The Bronx homestead has become a valuable history in that place. But after branding by the Yankees, the write has felt a huge part of a soul of society has been taken away. He doesn’t like the field they take on to called with the business name such as Trump Stadium or Time warner Parks to attract people for their own well-being. On the writer’s mind the names of great legends like Joe DiMaggio’s has been insulted which has raged him. “it’s also what is about to happen to Yankees Stadium is part of a deeper, acceleration trend in our society, the relentless branding of public spacing” Liu has showed that public space is a part of the soul and sprite of the community which has be disrupted by the relentless branding by the Yankees. He is enraged towards the word branding which is prevailing problems in today’s world. The wants the public spacing to belong to the people and the community. There are piles of example San Francisco’s fabled Candlestick Park is now 3Com park, the selling of bowl names has reached levels, the conspicuous marking of places and things with corporate names and logos in now everywhere in the civil square. This has made Liu unhappy and raged at the same time. He thinks that
Eric Liu, the founder and CEO of citizen University and executive director, in “Remember When Public Spaces Didn’t Carry Brand Names?” (1998). Eric Liu is a second generation chinese American that writes autobiographies. He claims that the Yankee Stadium changed in a way that he regrets. The Yankee’s have planned to sell “naming rights” to their Bronx homestead. There has been many memories because that was his childhood. It was disconnecting part of his life. In the Yankee Stadium is where Joe DiMaggio played and that's where his history began. Many things are yet to come to the stadium. Brading is going around everywhere. Some public spaces pay millions of dollars to have a logo to get attention of other people. Public spaces belongs to everyone
Everything flows along utterly. it's designed around God's favorite form, a diamond, and also the rest is roofed by the foremost unbelievable grass on the world. Nothing beats sitting in your favorite ballpark, observance your favorite team on a hot, sunny day, with a hot dog smothered with all the products in one hand ANd an ice cold brew within the different. This scene is symbolic to yankee culture. IIt has capable its share of changes, from the dead ball era, to the growth era, to the long ball era. however the game has forever been common, and it forever are. soccer has been around for sixty, seventy years super. Baseball? Circa 1839, 172 years and additional common than
Around first grade, Ramaz Lower School took a trip to a Mets game. The roar of the crowd nearly deafened me, but I’d never felt more alive. The crack of the bat was addictive and the general camaraderie in Shea Stadium was intoxicating. Within the first three innings, I knew I’d found something special. After the game, my classmate, Jack, came up to me with claims the Mets were the best team ever and the Yankees “sucked.” Naturally, I became a die-hard Yankees fan.
The Yankees plan on opening a Metro-North train stop right at the stadium so that fans from neighboring states can easily arrive and depart the game without dealing with the subway or the street traffic, which takes away from the hustle and bustle of the pregame street activities. This includes souvenir shops, food vendors etc. And finally, the most un-baseball related aspect of the new stadium on the list is the fact that Yankee Stadium will be open year round with clubs, restaurants, banquet rooms, conference rooms and business centers, and will host corporate outings, business meetings, bat mitzvahs, seminars and weddings (M.L.B. Advanced Media, “New Yankee Stadium Relocation Guide”).
Brooklyn, October 5,1941 written in 1997, inspired by the historical World Series game between the Brooklyn-based Dodgers and the Bronx-based Yankees. The piece was premiered by pianist Guy Livingston, at Bruno Walter Auditorium, Lincoln Center, New York on December 1997. The piece is named after the date of the notorious fourth game of the series. Gosfield’s didn’t just write the music for piano but requires the performer to use a catcher’s mitt and baseballs to strike both the piano keys, strings, and the soundboard inside the piano. The rolling of the baseballs back-and-forth, side-to side and the banging and hitting of the catcher’s mitt on the piano produces a wider spectrum of different sounds, timbre, and tonalities than the traditional method of playing with the
Nobody likes Yankees fans. Not even Yankees fans like Yankees fans, based on how often they fight each other in their home stadium. They’re loud, obnoxious, and arrogant. When it comes to actually watching the game—hey wait a second, the Yankees aren’t even playing—it’s two completely different teams. Why is this guy here?
Despite the die-hard commitment of many Boston Red Sox fans, the New York Yankees remain, by far, the most accomplished team in Major League Baseball. The rivalry between New York and Boston is not a new phenomenon at all. This resentment has existed since shortly after the first ever World Series game in 1903. It all began in December of 1920 when the Red Sox sold player, Babe Ruth to the New York Yankees, which would come to be known as the "Curse of the Bambino".
Going to a game in Fenway is a smorgasbord of delightful feelings. Even the walk up to the ballpark is some thing to behold. Walking with hundreds of passionate fans, all decked out in their red sox T-shirts, jerseys, and of coarse that iconic navy hat with the red B on it. I feel like I belong there with this organized group of strangers. There is such a since of family as I see people from the “T” car I was on and chatted with. A few hundred yards ahead I could hear a “Lets Go Red Sox” chant as people around me began to join in
First, I walked through the gates and smelled the great food and could see the amazing field. Then, we had to find the suite where my friend’s dad’s business had bought for their employees for the game. We had to climb a ton of stairs to get to our seats because they were way high
Traveling is one of my family’s favorite things to do. The family has visited numerous places throughout the United States, however, none are as memorable as Atlanta, Georgia. In Atlanta, there are many places to go and sights to see such as: Cola-cola factory, Cabbage Patch Kids Factory, Under Ground Mall, the Zoo, Atlanta Braves Stadium, Six Flags Over Georgia, Stone Mountain Park, and the Atlanta Aquarium, are all in or near the city of Atlanta. The three that we visit on every trip to Atlanta are Six Flags, Stone Mountain, and the Atlanta Aquarium.
These ballparks tend to epitomize everything people love/loved about baseball as America’s pastime and hosted some of the most historic and iconic events in the history of baseball. Wrigley Field remains as one of the most iconic sporting venues in not only baseball but in any sport in the world. When people think of Wrigley field they think of the ivy covered walls and voices yelling “Take Me Out to the Ballgame” as well as the white flags and the old traditional style of the ballpark itself. Unfortunately for the loyal fans of the Cubs, they still remain without a World Series victory since the opening of the beautiful ballpark in 1916. When someone hears Fenway Park his/her mind drifts to thoughts of the green monster and the lone red chair. He/she thinks of all of the great players and all of the great events that have taken place at Fenway. Visions of Ted Williams, Curt Schilling, even the current player David Ortiz, “Big Papi,” whose name, in my opinion, will one day carry the same magnitude as any of those other aforementioned players’ cycle through the heads of old men and women and bring back memories of a different time and place in baseball and make it all seem real again if even for just a second. The words “Yankee Stadium” and “The House that Ruth Built” synonymously weave through the minds of anyone who knows anything about sports. The Yankees throughout time held the contracts to some of the most iconic baseball players in history including,
“I’ve been a Yankees fan since I was 3 years old and I’ve never been to a baseball game.”
