Farewell to Yankee Stadium
Tonight is the final game at Yankee Stadium. There will be a 90 minute history of The House that Ruth Built on YES at 430, followed by a two hour live farewell, then the game at 815 on ESPN. ESPN is also running a tribute show on right now.

ESPN is running live right up to the game (and the game itself).

The old stadium is being knocked down to become parking for the new stadium.

The vet was a cookie cutter dump of a stadium and no one who ever called it home won a championship anyway.

I took my 7 year old for the first time June 5th. Played hookey from work/school. It was a surprise, and we had a blast! He just came running outside "Dad, today is the last game and it's on TV, get in here!". I'm so proud...

yankees never earned a championship in their entire tenure.
anyone can just spend infinite amounts of money and win.
the only difference now is that other teams now spend the
same amount ny has and now theyre garbage.
fyi Mike Schmidt and Pete Rose won the WORLD SERIES in 1980 against the royals. so dont tell me the vet never hoisted a championship flag

Oh, I forgot that one World Series that the Sillies managed to not choke in. lol
Philadelphia should change from the "City of brotherly love" to a choking noise, cause that is what their teams always do.

What can you say about Mattingly? Regarded for years as one of the hardest working players in the game and has become a great batting coach. Not a showman or ever one to put on flamboyant displays, he simply went out and did his job.
He never got his ring as a player, the season he would most likely have was cut short by the players strike. He retired and the Yankees won it all the following year. He missed out and it is a shame, but he is a Hall of Famer none the less.

Yeah, I can't believe that is the last time we will hear the line up echo through the old building. I really wanted to go, but the 150+ that bad seats were going for was too much for me.

And Bob Sheppard came back. I don't think he's done a game all year.
A couple very touching moments. The look on the faces of Bobby Murcer's wife & kids as the crowd wildy chanted "Bob-by Mur-cer" was just too much.

I like the idea that Jeter had Sheppard record his coming to bat announcement so that he will always get introduced that way. A lot of people don't realize how much history and what an important part of Yankees history he is.

 I'm really upset we never got to get there this year. I've never been there, Steve's a big fan, we definitely should have tried harder to go. Kind of depressing.

IIRC, Sheppard started in 1951 - last year for #5, 1st year for #7.

To add to that, if you look at the championship teams from 98 - 00, there was no A-Rod or Giambi with a huge contract on the team. Jeter didn't even have his big contract then. It was after that for a few years that the Yankees really started to spend the money. And in the 50s and 60s, players made s**t. Most of them had to take side jobs in the summer.
