The last game is being played in the "Stadium that Ruth Built." Yankee Stadium is where Ruth hit the first homer there on the day the stadium opened. The new stadium is a few blocks away but the history of the ball park is forever. Ruth,Berra,Dimagio, Mays, Maris, Mantle and so many others too numerous to name made the place almost into a church.

Growing up in Detroit and learning to love baseball listening to the Tigers on AM radio, I learned to hate the Yankees early and often. Later, living in Kansas City didn't help, the Royals/Yankees post season AL Championship series of the 1970's and 1980's were downright heart wrenching. All that said, the first moment I saw her up close, walked thru her busy turnstiles and sat in one of her seats....something in my heart changed. Every time I went to Yankee Stadium was electric, it's sounds and smells, it's history and players were still there....everywhere. I consider myself very lucky to have had the experience of visiting the house that Ruth built. I will forever hate the Yankees, but being in their house and watching George Brett hit two homers in one game was a special treat. Goodbye old girl.

'The house that Ruth built' has a ring like a well-tuned bell, doesn't it?

I'm glad the new stadium is close by. I would hate for all the pick pockets, Car break in artists and general extortionists to have to comute to their new feeding grounds. Even in the sixties, you went to a game there with several friends. I doubt it has gotten any better. I still remember a guy wanting $5 to make sure no one scratches the paint on a friend's car.

I'll make a contribution for the latter.

Now you really didn't expect a Brooklyn Boy from the fifties to have anything good to say about the Yankees, did you? Ralph, as long as I use the Hydrocodone APAP 7.5-750 in moderation, I don't need the laxative. However, every now and again it helps, so forward a goodly supply please. If you can spare it.

Ah Walt, that was Robert King that buzzed you about the laxative.

I've got enough to deal with these old worn out CPO's that seem to be full of it.

Know what I mean, Vern?

I've been there twice My first time and my last time..
I'm a life long BoSox Fan and to me it's always been a house of pain.. The worse manored fans in the world.and the biggest front runner fans in the league..
And Walt has nailed it on the head.. Good riddance.. What class eh?? Not even a mention of or an invite to Joe Torre the best Manager they have had in decades. I'm not surprised.
Oh and as I type the Sox are in the post season again.. Time for a toast
