I care about the "current" Yankee Stadium. It's historical, but I couldn't care less about those "Damn Yankees."

I don't like sponsors paying big money to name the ballpark either. Coors and Wrigley Fields are alright but the best sounding one is Great American Ballpark in Cincinnati, named after Great American Insurance. And while the game is still called the "great American past time," how many ball players are truly American?

My favorite player of all time was Hall of Famer Tony Perez, originally from Cuba. That was the 1970's when the Reds ruled and everything wasn't New York this and New York that. It's another world now.

Sorry Kieth but I hate the Yankees. I don't care what their stadium looks like. I'll never go to it because I think their ticket prices are way too high. I'll stick to watching minor league baseball.

Have single A minor league Yankee farm team in Charleston, SC...where the War of Northern Aggression began. How ironic is that? Thank goodness for Mike Veeck and Bill Murray - the joke is on us ! FUN IS GOOD

I don't care about the Yankees anymore - the way they treated Joe Torre turned me off to the organization (and I was already still upset over the way they dismissed Bernie Williams). However it does upset me that the historic Yankees Stadium is going to be dismissed as well (for no reason other than greed). It should be a national landmark. It is a cultural tragedy that that stadium is going to be knocked down.

Keith one of your greatest appeal is that you are such a multi-talented individual. Your experience as a sportscaster adds much life and vigor to your role as anchorman and political pundit. I'm not a big baseball fan but I appreciate you previewing the new Yankee Stadium which is replacing the structure that has been such an incremental part of NYC history and now the new Mets stadium which is also under construction. If I didn't know you, I'd probably think you were the head Engineer for the site, you're a natural!

Only to be expected--aren't we on the third Madison Square Garden, after all?

BTW, the attempts to riff on McAuliffe's hyperbolic declaration that Hill C was gonna make the greatest speech ever made by parodying Churchill? SO not funny.

I don't care about the stadium. I'm in Texas but I do care about your program. The show on Monday was one of the best yet! Thanks for being the only news show that I like! When are you going to post the blog for the Monday show? Don't give up on this!

This may come as a shock to many residents of New York City, but not everyone in the entire nation cares about what happens in New York City (9/11 your only exception). How about airing a story about all the other constructions and deconstructions of the numerous sporting facilities all across this nation?

I think naming sports facilities after corporations is gross, especially taxpayer subsidized facilities.

Keith, when are you going to come to Minnesota to see the new Twins stadium. OK, so it won't be ready by next year, but if you come now, you can avoid the holiday lutefisk dinners.
