Old apple to have home at Citi Field

With everything going up for sale from Shea Stadium, and the Home Run Apple getting replaced, I wondered where the old apple would end up. And now, we all know.

According to UPI, the old apple will be in Citi Field, in some way, shape or form.

"The old apple will have a home at the new stadium," said Stu Oxenhorn, director of the sports memorabilia collector firm MeiGray Vintage.

Well, that's nice. I have no idea where they would fit the giant apple into the stadium, so my plan of leaving it out in front of the stadium for fans to rub and take pictures with makes the most sense.

Wherever it goes, I'm just glad it's not for sale. It's part of Shea, and therefore an iconic part of the entire franchise.
