The Ghosts of Old Yankee Stadium

MYFOXNY.COM - The New York Yankees are just one win away from sealing their 27th World Series title. If they do it, their new stadium will be off to a fitting start.

In the old Yankee Stadium, the ground was sacred and Monument Park was a religious-like shrine to the greats, including Joe DiMaggio, Lou Gehrig and Babe Ruth.

So those Yankee fans that are really superstitious are concerned how those great Yankees ghosts handled the transfer across the street to the new place.

Of most concern is the ghost of Babe Ruth. After all, the old stadium is called the House that Ruth Built, and when Ruth was sold to the Yankees from the Red Sox mystical forces called the Curse of the Bambino supposedly jinxed the Red Sox away from a championship for 86 years.

The new stadium has tried to appease the ghosts; Babe has his own plaza and Mickey Mantle and Thurman Munson get bigger-than-life treatment inside.

So how do the Babe and the rest of the ghosts feel about the new Yankee Stadium? We should know by the end of the week.
