Favorite Yankee Stadium Memory

With today being the last day the Yankees play in Yankee Stadium, I want to take the time to share 2 of my all-time favorite memories at the stadium and want to open it up to you to share your own memories of Yankee Stadium! Thanks everyone.

Memory 1: Opening day 1999. My mom, grandpa, and friend Jim ditched school and went to Opening Day. We witnessed the raising of the 1998 World Series championship flag, and the Yankees eventually went on to win the rain-shortened home opener. The top memory of that game though, was a foul ball off the bat of Bernie Williams that literally hit my grandpa's umbrella. :-) What an awesome game.

Memory 2: Red Sox vs. Yankees, July 1, 2004. Ranked as one of the greatest regular season matches between the two heated rivals. Started as a game you wouldn't think of as going into the history books. Pedro Martinez v. Brad Halsey... to any non-Yankee fan, a no brainer. Red Sox win. Unfortunately, for them, the Yanks won in 13 innings, thanks to John Flaherty's game winning, ground rule double in the bottom of the 13th and the infamous Jeter catch where he flies into the stands. UNBELIEVABLE!

9/21/2008: Last game EVER at Yankee Stadium...

With October rapidly approaching, it is inevitable that this will be the first October in 15 years where the Yankees will not be competing for World Series glory. Today, September 21st, 2008, will be the final day anyone will ever see the Yankees play in the historic ballpark on the corner of 161st Street and River Avenue in the South Bronx. I am very fortunate to say that I have indeed witnessed memorable moments at the stadium that I will never forget. I hope today brings an unforgettable end to my 2nd home. I wish like hell I could be there, but will not doubt be watching the game from start to finish. We'll miss you Yankee Stadium!
