Baseball fans mocked the New York Yankees celebrating 100th anniversary of stadium that opened in 2009

The New York Yankees opened the original Yankee Stadium on this date, April 18, in 1923. The club moved out of its iconic home in 2008.

There was video evidence of this and everything. It’s on MLB’s website. Mariano Rivera recorded the final outs, Frank Sinatara’s New York, New York blared over the speakers. It was a whole to-do.

In 2009, the Yankees began play at the brand new, $2.3 billion Yankee Stadium built one block from where the house that Ruth built stood.

It is now 2023. The Bronx Bombers have played in new Yankee Stadium for more than a decade. Which means they have not played at old Yankee Stadium in just as long.

These facts are important because April 18, 2023 would’ve been the 100th anniversary of old Yankee Stadium. But that building no longer exists. There’s video of it being destroyed and everything.

So instead it’s just a random Tuesday in April where the Yankees host the Los Angeles Angels. But these are the Yankees we’re talking about, so of course they had to go over the top and make it seem like they can still say they’ve played at Yankee Stadium for 100 years.

It would be fair to say they’ve played 100 years at two homes which are both called Yankee Stadium. That’s about it.

Baseball fans were not letting this one go.
