    awww, sorry for your loss Winnie!!
    I kinda sorta know how you feel. Back when I was a big baseball fan I had some great times at and memories of Old Comiskey Park. Even though I hadn't followed baseball for a while when it was torn down, I was still so sad!!

    Even being a Yankee hater.
    It will be sad not to see the Stadium on my drives down The Major Deegan.

    Thanks all , it was quite the show last night as the team walked around the still packed stadium after the game , I had tears in my eyes , just shows how old we're getting when we get sentimental over a baseball structure , but it's been my favorite "hobby" in life , loving the Yankees & their "home"..........thanks to all non-Yankees fans for the undestanding , you guys are great.....

    As a lifetime die-hard Yankee hater, I have to admit one thing -- If the history and winning, is a measure of success, then the Yanks, are, by far, the most successful franchise in the history of sports.

    Number 2 is doing an excellent job of carrying on that tradition.
    I love the way he'll continue to have Bob Sheppard announce him for the rest his career. I had Bob Sheppard as a Professor in college, by the way. A classier guy, you will never meet.

    The game last night was great. I'm even glad they won.

    thanks rising , I'm kind of excited that the Mets are going to be our Buffalo Bison's "Parent Club" , I really like the black , blue , & I believe a hint of orange in their uniforms , I hope they bring that here , I'll buy a Bison's jersey then for sure...........Jeter is really a classy "superstar" , if there's such a thing , I sure pray that Sheppard gets better , doesn't really sound like he will be back but he wants too.........what did he teach in college ?

    That was electrifying last night! All those legends out there for one last time. That was cool as hell!!! Just a fraction of the Yankee contribution to the Baseball Hall of Fame. Ruth's daughter throwing out the first pitch! Crazy Would have been a dream to be there last night, hater or not.

    I spent quite a bit for two seats at the end of June on the Yankee side , up about 30 rows from first base..........can you imagine what the seats were going for last night ?

    ESPN did a great job last night showing the nuances of the stadium and the fans (i.e. the role call.)

    But they left one out. If someone wears an opposing teams jersey into the bleachers, the bleacher creatures don't just taunt him -- they sing to him.
