Even its name has a sense of majesty.<P> Places where baseball was played in the first quarter of the 20th century were usually called parks or fields, such as Yankee Stadium's only standing predecessors, Chicago's Wrigley Field and Boston's Fenway Park. Even the name of the Yankees' former rental home, the Polo Grounds, had a 19th-century sound to it.</P><P> The word "stadium" conjured up images of ancient Greece and suggested importance. As New York Herald Tribune columnist Red Smith once wrote, noting the place of sports in a society, "The oldest building in Rome is the Coliseum."</P><P> For 85 years, Yankee Stadium has lived up to its name, which will continue to identify the home of the Yankees when they move into a new facility across 161st Street in the Bronx next year. The modern trend of selling naming rights to corporate entities, for now anyway, won't sway the team to call its park anything but Yankee Stadium.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://newyork.yankees.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20080312&content_id=2421562&vkey=news_nyy&fext=.jsp&c_id=nyy"><div align="center"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/newyork.yankees.mlb.com/img/285760C6-8B94-4F40-A91B-3A7B1B67EA9A" alt="" /></div></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/7B37E008-A314-40D2-8E8C-EA2E74CC1C19/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
