Mayor Michael Bloomberg and some of the still-remaining MTA bigwigs will assemble at the new Metro-North Yankee Stadium stop tomorrow at 12:30 to christen the new E. 153rd Street station.
Metro-North says a “special, non-revenue train will leave Grand Central Terminal from Track 28 at noon” for media types; with the railroad’s current deficit, one is excused for thinking that all trains are non-revenue trains.
With his penchant for upstaging major public events, sources say Yanks slugger Alex Rodriguez will engage in batting practice while wearing leather chaps and a cowboy hat. He’ll hit from the Roberto Clemente Memorial Field across the street from the new stations; the field is a former Little League park that the Yankees bought up with taxpayer money so the players’ children can play wiffle-ball during Dad’s ballgames.
