Re: “The House That George Is Building” (July 23), about George Steinbrenner’s efforts to build a new Yankee Stadium.

Today in baseball there are only three shrines that link this great sport to its past. Wrigley Field, Fenway Park and Yankee Stadium. Mr. Steinbrenner has lost sight of the historical importance of Yankee Stadium.

Build it and they will come? I’m not too sure.
