Saying Goodbye to Yankee Stadium

While Sundays in fall are usually reserved for watching football, there is something much bigger going on tonight. The house that Ruth built, Yankee Stadium, is hosting its final game in its 85 year life. It's been the home of 26 World Championships, Monument Park, Babe Ruth, Joe DiMaggio, Mickey Mantle, Rodger Marris, Lou Gehric, Yogi Berra, and countless others. It's hosted the Pope, boxing matches featuring Muhammad Ali, and was the setting of the memorable "Win One for the Gipper" speech. It was their for the United States after 9/11. So as Andy Pettite throws the last first pitch in stadium history, we bid adu to a national treasure.

Yankee Stadium is a baseball cathedral, and the moments that have taken place there will last a lifetime. Goodbye, Yankee Stadium.
