‘Net’ gains in right field

After the umpires blew the call on A-Rod’s second ball hit over the wall yesterday, the Yanks sprang into action today. Joe Girardi, while on the dreaded Mike and the Mad Dog this afternoon, said that the stadium crews have placed a net between the staircase and the wall at the spot where A-Rod’s ball caromed back into play. With this solution in place one day late, it’s bound to never come up again in the short few months remaining in the life of Yankee Stadium. (H/T to Jamal, the one true M&MD fan around.)
