Ground Breaking News (Really)

From the AP:
The New York Yankees will break ground Aug. 16 for their new ballpark adjacent to Yankee Stadium. The team, which has played at Yankee Stadium since 1923, set the date Tuesday. It hopes to move to the new 53,000-seat ballpark for the 2009 season, and the new stadium is projected to cost at least $800 million.
Man, if they waited one more day, the ground breaking would have happened on Posada’s 35th birthday. That’s a shame – it would have been a fun trivia question.
August 17th should be interesting up in the Bronx – it’s a day game, Cap Day, and the first full day of construction. Happy driving all!
