My friend Jason Keidel thinks the Yankees jumped the shark on Monument Park when Jorge Posada’s number was retired last weekend, one day before Andy Pettitte’s number was also hung up for good.
For whatever reason this has become an issue for some fans the last two years as the Yankees rolled out plaques and retired jerseys for many of the very good and great players from the late-90s dynasty teams. OK, I get it — Monument Park is thought of as the hallowed grounds of Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Joe DiMaggio and Mickey Mantle.
