Mr Lear's Dream. Hopefully A Dream To Come True.
I have known L E Lear for over 40 years. At my high school reunion
on October 8, 2005 I noticed he was missing from the event. He was
working on his dream. I will get to that in a little while. I
wanted to see him so I sought out Harold Knox, a mutual friend, at
the reunion to see if I could get L E's phone number. Success was
at hand. L E and Harold still see each other.
Barry Bonds The next day I contacted L E and we spoke for about 15 minutes
on the phone. He was still as nutty as ever. He works out deals
with Burger King, and McDonalds to get better pricing for buying
bulk breakfast sandwiches. That's my boy.
are available now for sale or purchase. Yankee Stadium has been home to some of the greatest teams and players in baseball history, so tickets to see the Yankees are always in high demand. No matter what year it is you can be sure that the Yankees are in a position to make it to the World Series. Whether you love 'em, or love to hate 'em, the Yankees always bring plenty of entertainment to lucky ticket holders.
Pete Rose We reunited October 20 at his brother's house in Union, New
Jersey. We held each other. It seemed like we embraced for minutes.
It was great to see him.
I was so excited to see what he was working on. He told me all
about it when we spoke the a few nights ago. I still can't believe
what I witnessed. L E has been working on a model of Yankee
Stadium. Some people work on model airplanes or
cars or trains. L E is the first
person I know of that is building a model stadium.
To a European or Asian, a Yankee is an American; to a southern American, a Yankee is a Northerner; to a Northerner, a Yankee is a New Englander; to a New Englander, a Yankee is a Vermonter; to a Vermonter, a Yankee is a person who eats apple pie for breakfast; to a Vermont person who eats apple pie for breakfast, a Yankee is someone who eats it with a knife.
Jeter He has poured his soul, his heart and his body into this
incredible project for four years. Sacrificing income and
living any kind of normal life. Hey
that is what this artist chose to do. His seven foot wide, 11 foot
long and four foot high replica must be seen to be believed. The
scale he uses is one inch represents 12 feet.
With such a crippling start of the season, it must have become routine for Yankee fans to sit on the edge of their seats mumbling prayers under their breath for a miracle. On Sunday afternoon, their prayers were answered. During the 7th inning stretch in the game between the Yankees and Mariners, pitcher Roger Clemens announced to the thousands in Yankee Stadium and the millions watching at home, that he was coming back to the Bronx; making it the second time that Clemens wears the famous pinstripes. People in the stadium, along with everyone else watching on the YES network, must have been absolutely flabbergasted when the announcement was made. With Joe Torre on the hot seat and George Steinbrenner sweating bullets during each game, million team would pull something big to save themselves and their image. This miracle cost them a mere $28 million.
Mickey Mantle His objective is to have Yankee Stadium, the current Yankee
Stadium, refurbished, remodeled, and redone with a retractable
roof. He had the roof already erected. This newest Yankee Stadium
would have a walkway around an upper level that people could walk
around. Each few feet of walking would provide a different sight of
the field. There would also be train tracks that ran right up to
the ballpark. Quite convenient for those that use mass transit to
get to the game. The Major Deegan Highway would have easy access to
leave the stadium. This would allow for easy departure once the
game was over. Additional parking would be adjacent to the Stadium.
Two parking areas would be attached to the ballpark.
Yankees Baby Blanket Reg. $25.99 $21. $4.04 Yankees Baby Blanket. The perfect baby gift for the Yankees Lover. The most adorable Yankees "Snuggleball" is perfect for your Yankee fan. Your little one will love snuggling up with this baseball of their favorite team.
Roger Maris Now get this. In the background, next to the stadium would be
tennis courts. You would be able to play some tennis and then go to
the game.
old baseball fanatic Yankee Irving (voiced by newcomer Jake T. Austin) is always the last one picked for sandlot baseball games. But when Babe Ruth's prized bat is stolen during the 1932 World Series, Yankee steps up to the plate to help retrieve it for his beloved idol. country journey that teaches him the stuff real heroes are made of, and along the way, Yankee learns the importance of perseverance and the true meaning of friendship.
Roger Clemens Here is the icing on the cake. We all know that a new Yankee
Stadium is in the works. We all know how exorbitant the pricing
will be to erect a new house that George builds.
We all know how important luxury
suits are to a team owner. They
bring in lots of revenue. L E's resurrected stadium, with
retractable roof will have over 200 luxury corporate boxes.
Check this out. There will also be family suits under the
walkway only for families. These suits will be sold at a reduced
cost so more families can get to the Stadium as a family.
Jason Giambi This entire project will cost less than the proposed new Yankee
stadium.
Pitcher So Yankee brass, save some money, keep the tradition and create
a new type of ballpark with all the amenities. Every one wins. The
traditionalists keep the old ballpark and the owner moves Yankee
Stadium into the 21st century.
I have seen the conditions that L E has worked in to create his
dream. Mr Lear has been working in a small area with little room to
maneuver. Poor air circulation in winter and
summer. His dream can come true.
I love the idea. This replica is an incredible piece of work.
All the way to the finest detail.
Lakers My guess is that Yankee dignitaries like Yogi Berra, Babe Ruth,
Mickey Mantle, Lou Gehrig, Phil Rizzuto, Whitey Ford, Ron Guidry,
Thurman Munson, Craig Nettles, Joe DiMaggio, Bill Dickey and
today's Yankees like A-ROD, Derek Jeter and Mariano Rivera would
love to see this dream become reality.
