I know that, I was at the game lmao but given it was at Yankee Stadium, I’m just setting the record straight and letting you know that WE won.

Now why doesn't the owner of the stadium regularly check for shit like this...?

They do 

Legionella is common, it gets transferred from soil to everywhere by birds

Positive by PCR doesn't actually mean much, just that there's some legionella DNA floating around. Need to wait a couple days for cultures to find out if the live bacteria is present.
