Step Up Mets

The MFYs are doing something [url=http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=3597595]appropriate[/url] Sunday (and I'm not talking about crumpling up and blowing away, though that would be nice). ]Fans will be allowed to walk on Yankee Stadium's field for three hours before the ballpark's final game Sunday. Gates will open at 1 p.m. -- about 7 hours, 15 minutes before New York plays the Baltimore Orioles in its final game at the 85-year-old stadium. For the first three hours, fans can walk through Monument Park, behind the fence in left-center, and walk along the warning track in the outfield and to home plate. Field access will end at about 4 p.m., and Monument Park will close at about 6:45 p.m. Well, come the following Sunday, will we get anything like that? Maybe after the game since it is an afternoon affair? I know we might still need Shea Stadium in October, as opposed to MFYS II, but if Banner Days, Runs to Home Plate and Mr. Met Dashes have been permissible, why not this, why not us?

Won't the fans rip up sods of grass?

I guess the armed guards will see to it they don't in the Bronx. This has got me thinking of the CANNED FLORIDA SUNSHINE I'd see on sale in Miami Beach when I was a kid. I wonder how much the Mets and the MFYs will be asking for baggies full of Authenticated Stadium Air (the same oxygen that might have inhaled and exhaled by legends!).

The air that Al Reyes breathed in out in the bullpen would be a hit for the oddball gang.

The air that Derek Jeter breathes would cure the sick and heal the lame.

All I need is the air Derek breathes And to love him -- SJHollie, circa 2000
