However, I’m stuck in the past. I just bought this Yankee Stadium plaque. It has a color picture of the stadium in 2008, authentic dirt from the infield and a gold coin commerating the stadium. I’m really not a sentimental person, except when it comes to the Yankees.

I want another season like 1996. I don’t like that palyers I grew up with are now veterans. I’m even more bothered when they talk about them retiring soon – i.e. Derek Jeter.

So, anyways, I’m counting down the days until the new season starts, but looking back at the past with some fond memories.
