New York, NY —

This year the Yankees kicked off their new season in a shiny new ballpark. While fans have marveled at the culinary treats and the massive LED screen in the outfield, not everyone is so thrilled. Nearby, the All Hallows High School baseball team is forced to play home games on the road. That’s because in 2006 their field was demolished to make way for the new Yankee stadium, and they have yet to get it back. Stephen Nessen reports.
