With 31 days left until pitchers and catchers report to Tampa, the Yankee Stadium grounds crew is already hard at work. With the bowl games and snow storms this off-season, it looks like they’ll have some extra work to do.

The Field of Play

Here is a preview of what Yankee Stadium will look like for the Stadium Slugfest (June 5th) and the Pinstripe Bowl (December 30th). If you have any interest in the boxing match this Saturday, I suggest you do some online betting before it’s too late.
For all those boxing fans the Yankee Stadium will be the stage for the Slugfest next Saturday and this will be a great opportunity to remember all the history and the great fights that were performed once in the old Yankee Stadium.
After what we saw in Cowboy Stadium, an event that attended more than 51,000 people, it was pretty obvious and fair for fans to make a fight in New York and that is why next Saturday Miguel Coto and Yuri Foreman will be part of the first boxing event at the majestic stadium the Yankees.
This return will be marked by a battle for the Super Welterweight Championship, but before these two champions climb into the ring two Hispanics have made history.
The Puerto Rican Christian Martinez and Dominican Jonathan Cuba will be the first two contenders to fight in the new Yankee Stadium.
On the other hand, the ring will be in the right-center field a position that guarantees a better view for the fans, considering that in the old stadium the ring was placed around the second base, which often marred the playing surface. However that will not be a problem in the new stadium because it has an advanced drainage system to place the ring in the outfield.
Undoubtedly this fight has everything it takes to be considered as a historic moment, especially taking into account that the last fight in the NYY stadium was 34 years ago.

I thought I would wrap up Spring Training before the game starts tonight. Here are some things you might have missed:
- Hank Steinbrenner loves little kids…who knew?
- Girardi officially chose Curtis Granderson as the center fielder for the ball club.
- Yankees Release Mike Rivera and sign Chad Moeller
- After talk, MLB ‘very happy’ with A-Rod: “Although Alex Rodriguez never had an opportunity during Spring Training to meet with the feds investigation Anthony Galea, the Yanks’ third baseman did speak with Major League Baseball’s own investigators late last week.”
- George M. Steinbrenner III will be attending the Yankees Home Opener: “Yankees co-chairman Hal Steinbrenner told The Associated Press that “the plan” is for his father to attend the home opener against the Angels on April 13, the first game played in the Bronx since Game 6 of the Fall Classic against the Phillies.”
- Cashman stated that he still thinks Joba is a starter: “He’s a starter in the bullpen,” Cashman said in a telephone interview. “He can do both. He’s a starter who was just beaten out in the competition. That’s what we honestly believe, but we only had one spot.”
- Kevin Towers officially joined the Yankees organization
- The Yankees may have a leg up in recruiting Werth, as Reggie Jackson is connected with his family.
- Boxing is returning to Yankee Stadium. Yuri Foreman will battle Miguel Cotto on June 5th
- Pinstripe Bowl: “Yankee Stadium will host the inaugural New Era Pinstripe Bowl on Dec. 30, 2010, the Yankees announced at a news conference on Tuesday morning, held in conjunction with the Big 12 Conference, the Big East Conference, ESPN and New Era.”
- Alan Horne will miss all of the 2010 season with a rotator cuff tear.
- Yanks might be called upon in McNamee case: “Brian McNamee’s defense attorneys might call on Derek Jeter and Mariano Rivera to testify about their former New York Yankees teammate Roger Clemens as the ex-pitcher attempts to appeal a judge’s decision to dismiss his defamation suit against his former trainer.”
- Gaudin was unconditionally released by the Yanks. A few days after the Yankees released him, he joined the Oakland Athletics. (more…)
