Don't know prec...Thanks, Jason...much appreciated. Don't know precisely why, but I was actually <I>worried</I> about what they were going to do with it (not curious, not concerned, <I>worried</I>...I'm taking this new stadium thing pretty hard).<BR/><BR/>It was interesting to me that the original article mentioned the Babe Ruth monument...it's been well publicized that they intend to replicate Monument Park, so they would probably notice if the Ruth monument went walkabout (not to mention the bat on the flagpole).Osmodioushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01629875493204286891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9106257093107729484.post-53561950528169273052008-07-10T12:16:00.000-04:002008-07-10T12:16:00.000-04:00Just got an email back from Yanks beat writer Pete...Just got an email back from Yanks beat writer Pete Abraham:<BR/><BR/>"Being moved into a museum in the new Stadium."<BR/><BR/>There ya have it.Jason @ IIATMShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11675184282951841175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9106257093107729484.post-886637564271129052008-07-10T12:08:00.000-04:002008-07-10T12:08:00.000-04:00We did the SAME THING with my bro's Mickey Rivers ...We did the SAME THING with my bro's Mickey Rivers bat! We abused it. The Munson bat, no sir. That was MINE. Funny story, Os. Thanks for sharing.<BR/><BR/>Good question about Munson's locker. I'm really not sure. I'm going to email some folks who might have some insight. If I hear anything, I will let you know!Jason @ IIATMShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11675184282951841175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9106257093107729484.post-88753164748875782342008-07-10T11:56:00.000-04:002008-07-10T11:56:00.000-04:00Jason, my older brother has that same bat! And it...Jason, my older brother has that same bat! And it's in great condition because he always used my Lou Piniella bat (he even hit ROCKS with it...the bastard). I remember walking around the Stadium with my bat, holding it in front of me to protect me from all the other idiots walking around with bats not looking out for a little kid.<BR/><BR/>So I thought of an interesting question about the sell-off of The Stadium, but I'll post it in this thread since it has to do with Thurman...what are they going to do with his locker? I mean, are they going to have an empty locker in the NYS? Are they going to transfer all the lockers over there or build new ones?<BR/><BR/>(Everyone talks about the ghosts moving across the street...that is patently wrong: the team is moving, the ghosts are going to stay right where they are...)Osmodioushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01629875493204286891noreply@blogger.com
