Yankees vs. Phillies W.S. 2009

As for the old stadium, there is only one part of it that is original 1923 vintage, and survived the 70's renovation. I believe that is Gate 4 (one of the gates, anyway), and there is a grassroot movement to save it as a monument. The city claims it would be too expensive to do so, while the supporters say it would only cost a million or so. For the Yankees, that is beer money.

I'd like to see that one piece saved, but one can't expect the whole structure to be preserved and maintained in perpetuity.
