    What's Left of Shea Stadium

    After driving past every day and seeing it get smaller and smaller, I finally went and took some photos. This could be tough for some to see.

    Boy that is painful to watch Shea slowly decay. The second shot has a great contrast of the past and future.

    Wow, John, I said almost the same exact thing when I was interviewed for that Concorde show. Kinda weird to hear you reverberate my analogy as it applies to real life.
    And I, I took the path less traveled by
    and that has made all the difference......yet...
    I have a feeling a handle of people are going to be very interested in what I post in the near future.

    "The House that Ruth Built" was gone in the 1970s... reduced to rubble. That Yankee Stadium that replaced it was exactly that.. a replacement.

    Shea is officially gone. There is nothing vertical, just rubble. :(
