New Yankee Stadium Stole HS Team’s Home Field
Many baseball fans have often referred to the New York Yankees as “The Evil Empire”. (If you really need to know why, just ask the fans of the Red Sox, Mets and the other 27 MLB clubs.) Well, hearing stories like the one about All Hallows High School kind of cements this reviled reputation.
(Needs a good home - evicted earlier by the Evil Empire)
All Hallows is a Catholic school in the Bronx. The Gaels used to play their baseball games at a field in Macombs Dam Park. However, when the Yanks decided they needed a new ballpark of their own, Macombs Dam Park was selected as the site to build their new baseball cathedral. So everything was torn out to make it so - trees, grass, and any other smaller ballparks that happened to be in the way. Like All Hallows’ home field, for instance.
So while the Bronx Bombers can enjoy the creature comforts of a new & luxurious home, the Gaels go homeless.
