There's a law in the Empire State that declares that buildings cannot be imploded by way of explosives, which is why both Shea and the old Yankee Stadiums (and if the day ever comes in Boston, Fenway Park) will be dismantled. Despite the lack of... well, fun in the process, it actually makes sense; as mentioned in Thursday's video from the Bronx, the Stadium is surrounded by residential properties while Shea is not too far from LaGuardia Airport.
So for those of us who like seeing stuff deflate...
and blow up...
Many thanks to the uploaders.
Perception is reality, the saying goes. Modern players can never transcend time, athletes only care about the money and the fan is never wrong. Yet, all you need to do is dig a little deeper to find the truth. As a freelance sportswriter, my job is to give the audience a story around what just happened. As a consumer, I expect that sports will always provide more than I bargained for. As a fan, my hopes are to be enlightened by more than points. Welcome to the mind of a sports scribe.
