President Johnson, several federal departments, various congressional committees, and the ever-powerful voice of the auto manufacturers are all speaking out for increased safety on the nation's roads and highways. A meaningful comparison that shows the magnitude of the need for safety reforms is the 790,000 persons killed in highway accidents since 1940 compared with the 603,000 persons that have died in all the nation's wars since 1776. In addition to this, millions of others have been seriously injured, and billions of dollars in damages have been lost. The "Big 4" of the automobile industry pressed recently for a voluntary program to Improve vehicle safety design as soon as possible. Their desire was to cooperate with each other for these improvements. The Justice Department, however, warned them against such cooperation on the basis of anti-trust laws. In other wordj, the auto manufacturers must compete against each other to provide the national goal of minimum safety standards.

    THE POPE AND ME AT YANKEE STADIUM My Life as the Beer Man & Stand-Up Comic THE POPE AND ME AT YANKEE STADIUM My Life As The Beer Man & Stand-Up Comic By Steve Lazarus as told to Sandy Miles By Steve Lazarus as told to Sanford Miles “It’ll leave you laughing in the aisles!” -- Phil Mushnick, New York Post 1 Like sands through the hourglass, these are the days of our lives. I'm writing an unauthorized autobiography. - STEVEN WRIGHT 2 PREFACE OKAY FANS, LISTEN UP! Let me set the record straight right off the bat (no puns intended) and tell you the truth: I AM A LIAR. All comedians are. They say they’re single, when they’re really married. They say they’re Ivy League grads, when they barely made it out of grade school. They say they’ve bought a truckload of products from the Home Shopping Network but have never heard of the Popeil Pocket Fisherman. They enlighten you with the trials and tribulations of their first sexual encounter, though they happened to be alone at the time. This, however, is no fib: sorry Mr. Derek Jeter and Co., but I, alone, comprise the best double-play combination around: Yankee Stadium Beer Man by day, Stand-up Comedian by night.

Baseball is reminis- cent of fathers and sons holding hands as they enter their first ballpark together, bonding as they crack open peanuts, reach for foul balls, and cheer for their hometown heroes. While the con- cept of "Yankee" baseball particularly epitomizes these ideals, it also conjures images of sex, scandal, Hollywood stars, and tragic downfalls. In the minds of many, Yankee heroes are gods. Ultimately, however, they are just mortal men. And mortal men do not escape the randomness of life's adversities. All of our Yankee heroes have confronted the same personal issues that almost all families face, including death, divorce, custody debates, estate squabbles, domes- tic controversies, and drug addictions. For Yankee players in partic- ular, it seems the list is all too familiar. In dealing with family issues, many of our Yankee heroes have responded poorly.

  • List of New York's Baseball Sites
    LIST OF NEW YORK’S BASEBALL SITES Major League Stadiums and related sites The New York metropolitan area is the scene of some of the most legendary events and home of the greatest figures in baseball history. From the first recorded baseball game at Elysian Fields in 1846, New York has been the “Capitol of Baseball” for 171 years. New York’s baseball history is written in many places – legendary stadiums, distinctive hotels, ordinary homes. Some of these sites are well-marked and internationally- known – others are marked with small plaques, tiny reminders, or even nothing at all. But every one of these sites listed played a major role in the history of baseball, is worth a visit, and deserves to be known and remembered. Enjoy! 1. Yankee Stadium (161st Street and River Avenue, The Bronx) Accessible by the No. 4, D, and B trains from Manhattan. The new Yankee Stadium, opened in April 2009. Costing $2.3 billion, it stands one block north of the original, on the 24-acre former site of Macombs Dam Park, and incorporates reproductions of many features from the original Yankee Stadium across the street, including the frieze, the Indiana limestone exterior, hand-operated scoreboards, the section numbering, and the unusually-shaped outfield dimensions. New features include a museum of Yankee history that displays Thurman Munson’s locker, a Great Hall on 161st Street, and an accessible Monument Park. Home plate was brought from the original Stadium, and Yankee relief pitcher and future Hall of Famer requested that the team reposition the home bullpen and provide it with a door to link it with Monument Park.
