A Monumental Anniversary

A century ago, in the debuth
Of his eponymous stadium, Ruth
Hit the inaugural tater,
Auguring the later
Parade of glory under that roof.

    Parade of Glory in years past, but no more as the empty future stretches before us endlessly.

    And who could have seen it going on for over 40 years?

    No reason something resembling that dynasty could NOT have built in the free-agent era.

    No reasons at all save for:

    —The madness of King George
    —The indifference of Prince Hal
    —The incompetence of Cashman the courtier

    Just think a century from now people will be reminiscing about how Iron Mike Stanton went on the DL for the 700th time.

    Easy. Put it in the Ellsbury wing.

    Seat Hicks and start Cabera in LF and it's not that bad.
