Because the Yankees aren't the only team in town waiting for new digs.
Here's a slideshow of the ongoing contruction of CitiField, the future home of the Mets.
In a lot of ways, it reminds me of Citizens' Bank Park in Philadelphia (see Brotherly) in terms of its facade. However, because it is modeled after Ebbets Field, it will have a distinct mix of old-time baseball with modern amenities. More notes on these pictures tomorrow.
If the slideshow does not upload.
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.
