At Yankee Stadium's Final Game, Yankee Fans Reflect
I was watching the final game to ever be played at Yankee Stadium. All night, ESPN was analyzing the quote by Babe Ruth after he hit his first homerun at Yankee Stadium.
"God only knows who will hit the last one."
It turned out to be Jose Molina who hit the last homerun at Yankee Stadium.
It was so fitting that Mariano Rivera went 1-2-3 in the ninth for the final save at Yankee Stadium. The Yankees won 7-3.
All of the Yankee Legends came out: Whitey Ford, Yogi Berra, Don Larsen, Tino Martinez, Reggie Jackson, and many more came out to see the last game at Yankee Stadium.
The players did a victory lap around Yankee Stadium, and Derek Jeter called on the fans to "transplant the history of this Yankee Stadium to the New Yankee Stadium."
I remember when the Cardinals were getting ready to move into the new Busch Stadium. I am the type of guy that loves the historic ballparks. Wrigley Field, Fenway Park, Yankee Stadium.
I was sad to see Busch Stadium go, but the new Busch Stadiumn is beautiful.
I am sad to see Yankee and Shea Stadium go. Hopefully, their new ballparks live up to the hype.
