Kansen staff report
Seats from Yankee Stadium sold to fans for $500 apiece
No need to fret. Ticket prices to see the recently faltering team aren't rising again.
NEW YORK—Five hundred bucks for a Yankees seat?
But those who wanted to own a piece of its history ponied up to pay big bucks Monday, as 300 discarded seats from Yankee Stadium went on sale.
"I'm a season ticket holder," Bob Coccodrilli, who had arrived at 10:30 p.m. Sunday with a sleeping bag, said Monday after purchasing a set of seats. "Those games that I can't attend, I'm going to watch in my living room in my Yankee seat."
The asking price: $1,500 for a set of three 29-year-old seats.
His wife, Jessica, shook her head.
"Doesn't go on with the decor," she said.
About 30 die-hard fans had lined up by 8 a.m., one hour before the start of the sale at the government's official CityStore in Lower Manhattan. About eight devotees, unwilling to take any chances, had arrived as early as Sunday afternoon.
The fans got to view an actual set of seats before paying for them and arranging to pick them up or have them delivered at a later date.
First in line was Suzanne Bressler, 35, who had arrived at 2:15 p.m. Sunday from her Upper West Side apartment, equipped with a folding chair and blanket. She was buying the seats as a Father's Day gift for her physician father, Robert Bressler.
"My two sisters and I are going to sit in the seats and say we're his biggest fans on Father's Day," she said. "It's corny, I know, but he loves that stuff."
BOSTON MARATHON
Kenyans conquer Marathon in heat near 96-degree record
The Associated Press
BOSTON — Catherine Ndereba ran shoulder-to-skirder with the men when she won the Boston Marathon twice before. This time, Ndereba led thousands to the finish line.
It was the first time in the marathon's 108-year history that the women's elite field started separate from the men. With the stage to themselves, they didn't disappoint.
Ndereba won the marathon yesterday by finishing in 2 hours, 24 minutes, 27 seconds.
Ndereba, of Kenya, outsprinted Ethiopian Efrenesh Alemu in the last mile to win by 16 seconds, matching the closest finish in the women's division.
Alemu developed back pain late in the race that she blamed on a tail wind that might have been deflected by a more crowded field.
In near-record heat, Timothy Cherigat won the men's race in 2:10:37 to complete a Kenyan sweep. He broke away from Robert Cheboror right before Heartbreak Hill to win by 1:12 as Kenyan men took the first four spots, and six of the first seven.
A Kenyan man has won 13 of the last 14 Boston Marathons, and the nation is so deep at the distance that Cherigat isn't even on the Olympic team.
"I will wait for my time, and it will come," he said.
It was 83 degrees in Hopkinton when the elite female contenders began at 11:31 a.m., leaving the traditional noon start for the men and the recreational field. By the midpoint in Wellesley, the temperature was 85—far above the average high of 57 for April 19.
Ndereba at the halfway point was about 8 seconds behind Alemu. She
pulled even a couple miles later, and the two ran side-by-side and alone together for the next 10 miles before reaching Kenmore Square — with one mile to go. That's when Ndereba sprinted into the lead. Alemu did not have the energy to respond.
Indereba's time — the 11th-best for a woman at Boston — was fast for a tough course and one of the hottest races ever for the event. The hottest, in 1976, reached 96 degrees.
Ndereba, the reigning world champion who won in 2000 and 2001, suffered leg cramps late in the race.
"Toward the finish, I felt like I was dead," said Ndereba, who collapsed to the pavement at the finish line, where it was 85 degrees.
At least 800 runners sought medical attention along the course, and 136 were transported by ambulance to hospitals, race organizers said. Most of the medical problems stemmed from the heat.
Spectators who live along the course tried to cool the runners by spraying garden hoses onto the street, or offering cups of water. Race officials prepared for the heat with extra water at every mile marker, and additional medical personnel throughout the course.
By the time officials stopped counting at 6:20 p.m.,16,793 runners had finished the course, out of about 18,500 entrants who picked up their numbers to run the race.
Christopher Zieman of Felton, Calif,
was the top American man, finishing
13th in 2:25:45. Julie Spencer of Baraboo,
Wis., was the top U.S. woman, placing
16th in 2:56:39.
Ernst Van Dyk of South Africa won the men's wheelchair division with the fastest marathon in history, finishing in 1:18:27 to win for the fourth straight year.
Cheri Blauwet of Menlo Park, Calif. won the women's wheelchair race in 1:39:53.
