OOTP at Staten Island....

Marc Duffy · 07-24-2006, 12:16 PM

The Richmond County Bank Ballpark at St. George is New York's premier waterfront stadium and has become one of the standard bearers in professional baseball parks across the country. Over the outfield walls lies a picturesque view of lower Manhattan, the Statue of Liberty, New York Harbor, and New Jersey. The Ballpark at St. George opened on June 24, 2001 to much fanfare and expectation.

The Staten Island Yankees defeated the Hudson Valley Renegades 3-1 that evening to christen the beautiful new home of baseball on Staten Island. The 7171 seat home of the Staten Island Yankees was the crown jewel of the borough and would soon house not only baseball but concerts, picnics and other special events to benefit the people of Staten Island and the greater New York area.

They paid for this. There was a post to that effect several months ago, but no pics.

I wonder what they think of ConEd now . . .

Hey I know where that is!!!! The Staten Island Yankees Ballpark! I remember that site before the ballpark was out there. Nothing but parking lot area and pier area used by the S.I Ferry.

I grew up in Staten Island. That is right near the SI Ferry along Richmond Terrace.

My family still lives on S.I (I currently reside in New Jersey). I remember a time when S.I. was often referred to as the "Forgotten Borough". We've come along way....

(There are five boroughs in the city of New York for the uninitiated

)

Nice going OOTP!

Don't shoot the messenger. Marc had incorrectly labeled this thread 'OOTP at Slatten Island....'.

If you squint your eyes and stare at the screen, I think you can see an explanation of MLE's and PCM's in the bottom right hand corner of the board!!

Finally!

I missed that one....

Wow, Staten Island (home of the great late Rodney Dangerfield, Ricky Schroeder, Buster Poindexter, Force MD's and super rapgroup Wu-tang Clan) still gets no respect...

robster1225 · 07-24-2006, 02:03 PM

That is an awesome park, I've been there once.

The Renagades are the local minor league team around here. I live around 3 miles from Dutchess Stadium (I live on the Newburgh side of the Newburgh-Beacon Bridge. Stadium on the other side). The Renagades started out hot when they had that Longoria dude on the team (for 3 games I think), then they went right down the tubes. They suck, but the games themselves are alot of fun (lots of fan participation). At least I got to see Podsednik, Toby Hall, Nolan Ryans kid, and a few others that have passed though here.

If you decide to seek out an ad at Dutchess Stadium, the P.A. guy/Marketing guy's name is Rick Zolzer. Tell him you loved his days with WPDH to stroke his ego, and he would probably do something for you

Christina Aguilera was born there.

Trotsky and Garibaldi lived there in exile.

More importantly, the original Mets played there for a couple of seasons in the 1880's (at the Staten Island Cricket Club)

The NFL had a franchise in SI in the early 30s, called the Stapleton Stapes.
