 A Bronx Cheer - New York Times
Many have not forgotten the furor over a Yankee executive, Richard Kraft, the team's vice president for community relations, who in 1994 resigned over remarks attributed to him in which the phrases "colored boy" and "monkeys" were used to describe neighborhood youths.
The plan was rejected by the local community board - a move that, while not legally binding, is an important gauge of the neighborhood's mood, and was especially embarrassing to Adolfo Carrión Jr., the Bronx borough president, who supports the new stadium and appointed the board's 50 members.
Residents, however, say that the new parks would be a patchwork compared with what they now have, and that the two new proposed parks on top of parking garages are especially inappropriate for a neighborhood in which community leaders have complained about high rates of asthma.
