VOTE - Viewing Outside The Event
~ Outside Yankee Stadium ~

APRIL 24, 2005 --

Is there a deal in the works between the Yankees and the Lotte Marines of Japan's Pacific League?

LPR spotted Japanese media rushing to get an interview, outside Yankee Stadium, early last week, and learned that the interviewee is Ryuzo Setoyama, general manager of the Lotte Marines, a game and a half behind Soft Bank, as of April 23.

And while outside the ballpark, LPR noticed a pizza delivery in progress. Fans, of course, are not permitted to bring food into the ballpark. (Years ago, one of the treats going to a Yankees double-header, was to bring sandwiches from a deli. But then, double-headers are gone, too.)

 

Ryuzo Setoyama -- General Manager of the Chiba Lotte Marines. (Presently in second place, back of Soft Bank, by a game and a half). LPR snapped this photo of him being interviewed by Japanese TV outside Yankee Stadium, last Monday.


Pizza Anyone? Not if you're a Yankees fan entering into the Stadium. But LPR photogaphed this pizza delivery, indicating that although fans can't bring food into Yankee Stadium, someone can order out.
