I’m talking about the comments going back and forth over the neighborhood.
What’s done is done.
You’ve voiced your opinion, it’s beginning to get tired!
Whether you [...]

They played the last game at Shea Stadium yesterday – no doubt it left a bitter taste in all Met’s fans mouths. My condolences go out to the likes of Jack Kelley, Glenn Thomas, Al McNeil and of course Carmine!
Al McNeil, one of the biggest Mets fans I know sent me a great essay [...]

We all have our own story regarding the tragic events that happened on 9/11. I was sent this story/ link/event by a loyal reader of Container Diaries about an off-duty fireman, Stephen Siller who walked through the tunnel to get to the World Trade Center as it was burning down.
This looks like a great event! [...]

Early in the week I asked for someone to send me the cover of either paper, News or Post with the Yankee Stadium image. Thanks to Tony F, I am sitting pretty with a sweet image. I am going to frame it for sure. He sent the pull-out special section – the Cover [...]

Tuned in last night to watch the last game played at Yankee Stadium. ESPN did a fantastic job of their coverage which actually started in the afternoon. (Note to ESPN – your guy Karl Ravitch asked John Kruk, ‘if you’re someone who is flipping the stations and you stumble upon this, and you don’t [...]

If you would be able to mail it to me, it would be appreciated!
Hit me up with an email to let me [...]
