Well, the Yankees called and I am now the possessor of 81 games directly above the plate in 420B (Check the view out at Yankees.com). Our seats are covered by the reinstated (1923) frieze atop the stadium. My partners and I have six seats there and will entertain offers for them for any games you may be interested in. We are putting the grand opening of the first Yankee season in the new park up for sale (since it occurs on a Jewish holy day April 18th when none of us may attend) as well as the rest of the season. Just write to hfrisch@gmail.com if you are interested.
The likelihood grows that, in addition to great pitching, the Yankees this season will have potent bats protecting ARod. Both Texeira and Manny are starting to come into focus as potential Yankee acquisitions. Wouldn’t that make for a Yankee hater’s nightmare?
Add Texeira’s defense to his impressive offensive presence and Manny’s (mainly DH) bat and it becomes plausible to carry Melky and/or Gardner in the Centerfield spot. The Yankees scored far fewer runs last year than in 2007 and certainly did not produce with runners in scoring position. Wouldn’t a season like 1998 be grand!
The only thing that could spoil this Yankee fan’s dream would be waking up and finding it hasn’t really happened.

Sorry about the home opener date--It is Thursday April 16th, not Saturday the 18th. The first three games are all still available.
