"Mooooo... Baaahhh...."

From Steven Goldman's latest blog entry:

It's about time the Yankees got a new stadium. Yankee Stadium is a
fine, venerable ballpark, and a great place to soak in history. Unfortunately,
it is antiquated. Off the field it is a drab, dark, joyless, crowded,
inefficient facility, incapable of accommodating the throngs that come out to
see the team. Crowd management was clearly an afterthought in the Stadium's
design; trying to exit the park after a ballgame quickly disperses happy
memories of the ballgame and replaces them with bleats and moos as human beings
transform into cattle.
As someone who has taken many a dreaded walk up the stairs leading to the "Tube," to get back to the parking lots adjacent to the Major Deegan Expressway, I laughed out loud reading that last line.
