The end of an era
Today is the last game ever to be played at Yankee Stadium, probably. At this point it is very unlikely that the Yankees will make the playoffs this year and next season the Yankees will open a new stadium across the street. The new Yankee Stadium, they say will be more like the original stadium. Well I wasn’t around more than 85 years ago so I don’t know if that’s true but it’s still exciting to think that the new stadium will be more like an old fashioned stadium. Whether or not the Yankees win tonight’s game it’s sure to be a bittersweet day for everyone at the stadium tonight, especially for the players, coaches, announcers, grounds crew, etc. It is exciting to imagine what next season at the new stadium will hold, but it’s also sad because tonight’s game is most likely to be the last game ever to be played in the House that Ruth built. How knows maybe the new stadium will be the House that Jeter built, one can only hope. All I can add is GO YANKEES! Let’s hope they end the season on a bang and win one tonight.
