Goodbye

A final goodbye to Yankee Stadium...

Yesterday was the last home game the Yankees played of the season, which meant it was the last game that would ever be played at Yankee Stadium. I know it is a weird thing to be sentimental about, but I really have been sad to see it end. The coolest thing about Yankee Stadium is all the history that is there. There are so many incredible Yankee greats who played there, it is amazing to think about it. The memories and achievements that have taken place there are endless. Baseball is a big thing in my family, and baseball is the Yankees. So naturally, we spent most of the day yesterday watching tributes to the Yankee Stadium and players, and then the game. It was very interesting to learn a little more about the history of the game. And the game was amazing. It just had this feel about it, like a world series, only bigger. After the game was over, and we had won, no one wanted it to end. Everyone stood there and listened to Frank Sinatra's "New York, New York" over and over again, just in awe of the night. I still can't believe that there will never be another game in Yankee Stadium. Luckily, I had the chance to go and see a couple games there a few years ago. There is just something about it that gives you chills. Hopefully the new stadium will have as much history and will mean as much to the fans, but I am sure that it will take a while. As for now, last night, was a night to remember.
