This link above will take you to site where I have posted my pictures, good and not so good of Sunday's night's game. I will be posting a slide of those picture on this blog in a day or so, but this other link will enable those who actually want a photo to get one for their own scrapbook.

I never thought I would be part of something historical. However the Yankees and Yankee Stadium are history; and in recent years I have been privileged to be there for significant historical events. This game is history now, the last one ever at what will soon be labeled, Old Yankee Stadium. It surpasses the first game back after 9/11 and any playoff/World Series game I attended. Yankee Stadium , new or old will forever be historical, even after it is reduced to rubble and parkland.

Despite initial announcement, all the plans have changed. The first hint was when premium seats ticketing occurred in early summer, and then fans were told recently all ticket plans would change. A few days later the Yankees and the City of New York announced the stadium shell would not be preserved, the stadium would be demolished and made into a park. the City tool all efforts to protect Yankee Stadium Sunday, not to help the coffers of souvenir seat sales, but because nothing will be done with the stadium until the Yankees are absolutely sure new digs will be available. Until that time, no deconstruction will occur in the grand old Cathedral of Baseball.

For those still wishing a look, the Yankees are still running tours. Stadium tours will run until such time as the Yankees begin to ship operations across the street.

I will have further thoughts on Sunday's final baseball game in a few days. And while there will never be another MLB pitch thrown there, there is still a place to go and see for those who want a tour. But don't wait too long to go.
