Baseball says good bye to and old friend today as the last game at Yankee Stadium is played. Growing up we went to the stadium with my sister, dad and uncle. My uncle had a friend who got seats on the Visitor dugout, not near it, on it. So I just figured that if you go to the Stadium you get great seats. I also remember when my dad took my sister and I to a double header against the Twins. Memory serves me correctly they split the games. Later on my Dad and I have been to two games, once in 03 and once in 06. We tried this year but our schedules wouldn't allow it and we went to Cooperstown instead, an even trade off.
We say all the Yankee Greats play from our generation to include Dave Winfield, Don Mattingly, Derek Jeter, Bernie Williams and Mo Rivera to name a few. I know they are not going away, but the Satium is, and as I settle in tonight to watch the game, I will remember fondly a part of my childhood, and never be able to hear New York, New York with out thinking of Frank Messer, Bill White and Phil Rizzuto.
Yes Dawn has made fun of me, but as much as I love her, I don't expect her to understand..

The box seats belonged to Peter O'Malley he owned the Dodgers, dad had a friend who gave him great box seats as well, i remeber the shock of sitting in the upper deck for the first time-a double header I seem to remember!
Ron Guidry, Bucky Dent, Dave Righetti, Goose we saw some of the best! It is a sad day I wish we had gone this summer now
Remember how Mike Smalley cost them the game at the double header?
Roy he replaced Bucky at shortstop
