 Big League Ballpark Notes
The Yankees announced that their new $1.3 billion ballpark will get a test run prior to Opening Day, which is scheduled for April 16. On April 3 and 4, the Yanks will play exhibitions against the Cubs ... As reported in our photo essay on Glendale's new spring-training complex, the White Sox are determined to train there in 2009. A buy-out plan with Pima County is in the works ... The Dodgers, who will share the Glendale complex with the ChiSox, will charge the highest prices for exhibition games in 2009 ... It had been a long while since there'd been any news about a new park for the A's. Team owner Lew Wolff confidently told AP sports editors, though, that a new high-tech stadium in Fremont is still on track (the site is shown to the left). |
