Yankee Stadium

[CoinCrusader42]

I became a Yankee fan in 1948, at the age of five.  Been one ever since.

I took our two sons to NYC in 1999 to watch a couple games.  Missed the David Cone perfect game by one day.

Especially cherise my memories of Mickey Mantle, from listening to him play, watching him on TV, and watching him in person.  Without injuries, and with a good stable situation in which to live in New York, he might have been the best of all time.

About a month ago a few family members and I made the 3,000 mile trip to Yankee Stadium in order to say we were there for a game the final year.

Then tonight, a great ESPN telecast of the last game ever played there, with a lot of history included.

I realize the Yankees aren't universally loved, but this old codger has loved them for 60 years.

Hopefully the greatness will continue just across the street in the new Yankee Stadium.

I cannot say I love the Yankees persay, but damned, they are one hell of a team with a great stadium and I would love to have seen a game in old Yankee Stadium.  I have not been a major league fan since the strike in 1994, but have been a minor league fan for quite awhile now.  I think that MWL baseball is just edged out by OHL hockey for interests though, saw the first game the other night, a week after MWL had their last game.

The Yankees are the only team to have won more World Series than my team...
The Cardinals!!! I went to one of the last games at the old Busch Stadium in St. Louis.
I would have loved to go to a game at Yankee stadium though. There is so much great baseball history there.

OH YEAH? How about my Cubies? So what's a century.....just a little time gone by. I was born & raised in Chicago, attended many Cub games and attend a few each yr now......it's a nice drive to Wrigley Field. You see, we escaped the Chicagoland area 35 yrs ago and moved north 500 miles.....best thing we ever did. Will the Cubies win the World Series this yr? Oh well, maybe next yr.

I don't know Goose. I'm kind of afriad they will win it all. They probably won't though. Wrigley field is another great place to watch a baseball game though
