We'll have to agree to disagree on this point. Most of the people buying stuff in the team store on July 9 were buying $25-$50 t-shirts and hats with DJ3K on them. Nobody was in there trying to buy investments, or thinking that they could sell a t-shirt ever again. We all wanted to have mementos. Really, on that day, there were lines around the concourses with people just trying to get something to take home to remember the event. Maybe brag to their friends that they were there. I've seen a ton of great games at Yankee Stadium, new and old, including Aaron Boone, Cone and Wells' perfectos, 2009 clinching the WS, all three 2001 WS home games, etc. And the atmosphere at the Stadium after Jeter hit No. 3000 rivaled or surpassed just about all of them.
