Shea Stadium es ya solo un grato recuerdo en la historia del beisbol. Y Yankee Stadium es desmantelado de manera inmisericorde. Pero hay otros estadios de Grandes Ligas abandonados y tan erectos comos esos iletrados soldados que pululan por ahí.
Miguel Cotto ya tiene fecha de vuelta a los ensogados. De acuerdo a Bob Arum, entrevistado por el diario puertorriqueño Primera Hora, la intención es que el boricua vuelva al cuadrilátero en junio para la tradicional Parada Puertorriqueña de Nueva York."Primero, Miguel necesita de un largo periodo de descanso para que se olvide del boxeo por un tiempo. Luego, nos vamos a sentar para hablar sobre posibles oponentes, pero la idea es que para verano esté peleando otra vez", dijo Arum al rotativo de la isla.
No sé que tiene Kate Hudson, además de lo obvio, pero esta hermosa actriz parece saber algo de béisbol. Resulta que desde que Kate y Alex Rodríguez anunciaron su amor público, el antesalista de los Yankees de Nueva York se ha vuelto un fogoso bateador.Y no es que no lo fuese antes. Pero es que A-Rod inició un tanto flojo el año y desde el 25 de julio, cuando ambos le gritaron al mundo que sí, que si eran un uno, el toletero tiene más de 25 puntos de promedio de bateo en comparación al inicio de la campaña. Además ha conectado dos jonrones en los últimos tres partidos, entre ellos, un batazo clave contra los archirrivales Medias Rojas de Boston el fin de semana pasado
Para la inauguración de Citi Field, el lunes 13 de abril, sobraron 802 entradas en las taquillas, de las 42 mil que pusieron a la venta. Y en la inauguración del nuevo Yankee Stadium quedaron fríos mil 203 boletos de los 52 disponibles.
Es que los Yankees están cobrando entre 500 dólares y dos mil 625 dólares por juego en cada una de mil 895 sillas de 25 secciones alrededor del infield. Y los demás sitios menos costosos, no son nada económicos tampoco.

"Que las armas se rindan ante la toga"... CICERÓN.-

LA PREGUNTA DE LA SEMANA.- Mañana viernes 24 hará 160 años de la primera aparición en el beisbol de algo que vemos en todos los juegos. ¿Recuerdas qué es?.
LA RESPUESTA.- El 24 de abril de 1849, los Knickerbocker, equipo de Nueva York que había inaugurado las primeras Reglas tres años antes, en 1846, presentó ante la sociedad del beisbol los primeros uniformes que se usaron en la historia. Los pantalones eran azules y de lana, camisas blancas de franela mangas largas, y gorras de paja.
Lo primero que se echa de menos en el nuevo Yankee Stadium es la atmósfera, la majestad, el señorío de la vieja casa (1923-2008). Nada de eso tiene la lujosa nueva residencia de los Yankees.
Lo primero que se echa de menos en Citi Field, es el maravilloso coro de "¡Let´s Go Mets!... ¡Let´s Go Mets!", acompañado de los ingeniosos carteles y bambalinas caseros que enarbolaba la gente en las tribunas de Shea Stadium. No, nada de eso hay en la nueva residencia de los Mets.
