Lowest turnout for an opening series in the entire history of the new Yankee Stadium

Should we be worried that nobody came? Hard to say. It was, after all, in a blizzard.

I once attended an opening day at Yankee Stadium in a sleet storm, with the wind-chill hovering around 20. We pleaded with the authorities to call it. We almost lost limbs. It ended in the bottom of the ninth with our winning run on second base and Steve Sax at bat. We went crazy cheering for him. He struck out on three pitches.

Meanwhile... tonight it's Nova.

And not the one in the Big East.

Of all the early season starts, this one's most important.

A good outing by Ivan Nova puts us a good place. A bad one... and Kevin Millwood better be getting ready.
