"Everyone else has changed and everything else has become state of the art, and unfortunately, this place is the same as when I walked out in 1977,'' he said recently after being named a studio analyst for MSG for the coming season. "There are subtle changes, but it's the same arena.''

Bossy joked that the polite way of describing the old place is "vintage.''

"I will make a great comparison: When the Yankees were playing in their dump and they were winning, no one was calling it a dump,'' he said. "They were calling it vintage. Unfortunately, we haven't been winning, so it makes the place look worse than it is. So we turn it into vintage.''
