This week, the New York Yankees opened their new $1.5 billion baseball stadium. The former stadium was affectionately referred to as, “The House That Ruth Built” in honor of Babe Ruth. On opening day, April 18, 1923, Ruth hit a 3-run homerun against his former team, the Boston Red Sox to win the game. On opening day in 2009, that bat was laid across home plate to bless the new stadium. It did not help as the Yankees lost that game 10-2. On Saturday, April 18, 2009, during the 3rd game at the new stadium, the Cleveland Indians scored 14 runs in the second inning and won the game by a score of 22-4. In roughly 193,000 major league baseball games, a 14-run second inning has not occurred . . . until now. click here for limerick
