Boston Globe: Ryan: They’ll bring down the House, but it’s no time to cheer

Bless Bob Ryan…

The game tonight between the Yankees and Orioles will close the second Yankee Stadium. Yankee Stadium I was opened on April 18, 1923, and was closed on Sept. 30, 1973. After a complete gutting of the structure and a thorough reworking of the contours, Yankee Stadium II reopened on April 15, 1976. It is that second Yankee Stadium whose sad closing we commemorate this evening.

To repeat: Derek Jeter never played in Yankee Stadium I. Babe Ruth never played in Yankee Stadium II.

End of polemic.
