Help me in my quest for blogging glory.
Racing queen-turned-sexy TV star Kim Si Hyang is
absolutely voluptuous. I think she's the modern day Korean

The Yankee organization, ball players and devoted fans
said farewell to the house that Ruth built. The
Mecca of all stadiums was constructed in 1923 in the Bronx on 161st St & River Ave and will now be torn down to the utter disappointment of fans in a playoff free 2008. ...

Paul Simon recollects the unveiling of Joe DiMaggio's
monument at Yankee Stadium: (NY Times): "After the ceremonies
we were invited up to the Steinbrenner suite. I sat at a table with Phil Rizzuto , who introduced me to his wife, Cora. This was becoming a Yankee-dream-come-true afternoon. ...
A Devil Rays fan, an Orioles fan, and
a Red Sox fan attempt to give Yankee Stadium
the sendoff/f***off it so richly deserves.
IN the Yankee Stadium of my youth, left-cen
