We need to stay focused on Old Dominion. We've got to play the cards that have been dealt to us. I'm tired of trying to acknowledge the fact that people's decisions are being influenced by the changing of society. For example, the most talked about topic from the past week in the world of racing is not the fact that Indy car driver Scott Brayton died at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, but instead it is the new race that is trying to take over the Indianapolis 500. Some of the best Indy car drivers have opted for the US 500, a race that is competing on the same day as the Indy 500 at Michigan Motor Speedway.
Tradition means nothing anymore.
Let's switch scenes to baseball, supposedly one of America's pastimes. Year by year, baseball's greatest ball parks are being deleted from the scene, with the newer, modernized stadiums taking its place. Tiger Stadium has been on the bubble for years, and now talks of Fenway Park holding its last ballgame are being heard. Those are some great ball parks, but when I heard that George Steinbrenner wants to move the New York Yankees from Yankee Stadium, I couldn't believe it. It has held the greatest players of all time like Babe Ruth, Lou Gerig, Joe Dimaggio, Yogi Berra, and Roger Maris.
