I even emailed them last fall and told them they should model themselves after the year long celebration of Fenway. (As big a Yankee fan that I am, I went to Fenway last year and enjoyed all the history that I saw, it was amazing and I know some board members actually had items on display inside Fenway...) Think of the history that could have been displayed at the stadium and all the Highlander jerseys and hats that could have been sold. Again, I know I'm not that smart, but.......

Well Tim, I'm not a Yankee fan but I think you have a wonderful idea & I agree that they are missing a golden opportunity to celebrate the 100 year history in perfect historical fashion-it's odd that they wouldn't think of this. And it would be awesome to see them play in Highlanders jerseys and hats-or throwbacks of the whole uniforms at least for a game. Great idea, I think you are that smart
