How about Yankee Stadium, the house that Ruth built going bye-bye to make room for a new high tech arena for George's team or maybe Lance Armstrong coming out of retirement to compete on the 2009 Tour De France. Wow, with getting better from cancer to compete again at that level, we will certainly look forward to seeing Lance back on the tour.
