Last night, following the Yankee victory, Aaron Judge said, erroneously:
"You just never know with the wind, if it’s going to push it foul, going to keep curving or not. But I guess a couple ghosts out there in Monument Park helped keep that fair.”
In fact, there are no ghosts in Yankee Stadium. In 2009, the franchise demolished the original "House that Ruth built," making way for the current park. Hardly any of the Yankee "greats" ever played in the new stadium, and almost all are still alive. The world regrets this error.

Duque, I beg to differ. If George and Marion Kirby could follow Cosmo Topper home from Switzerland to Manhattan, I think some of the deceased Yankees greats can migrate 2 blocks north.
Hear, hear, O Peerless Leader!
Yeah, that was problematic, Carl Weitz. Mrs. Calabash and I kept trying to watch "Ghosts," but they ran out of ideas almost at once, and kept changing the rules. Some of the ghosts can travel after all, etc. Not good.
They had to open up the series, Hoss, or they'd have been dead. No pun intended. I had thought that the British Ghosts was superior, but then, for lack of anything better to watch one day, we gave the American version more of a chance. And ended up watching every episode. Funnier than the UK series.
The characters won us over. Changing the rules seemed like opening a couple of new doors.
This is not an endorsement of the Manfred Man, oven mitts, big bases, or any other rule changes by MLB. Those changes are completely lousy.
However, Ghosts is in danger of jumping the shark if they keep it up.
