AUGUST 10, 2007 -- A number of the images presented in this edition of LPR are related to Yankee Stadium. The first image, however, is of the great stadium's successor, taken by LPR, last week.
LPR
does not know if the configuration of the new ballpark, when
completed, will allow an image of the "The

At one point she pretended to stumble and LPR got the image. August 4: LPR got a photo of Cynthia Rodriguez, a few minutes after her husband, Alex, hit his 500th home run. LPR also photographed A-Rod and Mrs. Rodriguez, as they left the ballpark, after the August 4 game against Kansas City.

LPR thanks Dennis of Academy buses for making the storage bays of his lead bus available as vantage points for photogs -- and LPR also thanks NYPD Captain Kastner for agreeing to this terrific photog vantage point for images of Yankees leaving the ballpark, including this photo of Mariano Rivera.
The New York Post recently reported that Yankee boss George Steinbrenner seems to be seriously ill. Daily News columnist Mike Lupica criticized the rival Post for its intrusiveness.
LPR believes the issue should be settled with full disclosure from the Yankees on the condition of the tempestuous Boss George, whose silence now is indicated by the inactivity of his New York car, seen recently by LPR in the Yankees' parking lot. The image of the sun, setting on the current ballpark was taken by LPR August 3. For LPR, the selection of Yankee Stadium as site of next year's All-Star game is hollow tribute at best.
The world will know, as that game is played, that the sun is, indeed, setting on Yankee Stadium, and MLB, shamefully, stands by a few months later, as the wreckers' ball puts an end to "The House that Ruth Built." |
