It occurred to me that a great cause for optimism is being missed in this New York episode. ‘The Cathedral of Baseball’ built at what some may erroneously consider New York and the world’s zenith in the roaring twenties turned out 85 years later to be replaceable, but in this time not even grand enough to be preserved.
With a caveat that an obscene amount of public funding went into the New Yankee Stadium, it is a great confirmation that we’re not in the new Dark Ages that something as majestic as the old park isn’t really as indispensable as many may have thought.
Think about it; our civilization’s prowess may be on an incline so breathtaking that soon, paving over things as grand as Walt Disney World and building version 2.0 may go over easier than this!
