Even as a Bostonian, I have the utmost respect for Yankee Stadium. It signed off last week amid much fanfare but less than they would want. In their final year in Yankee Stadium, the ol' pinstripes did not make the playoffs and sign off with at least a win against a sub-par Orioles team. Everyone that was still alive was there (except for Rocket - boo hoo). Jeter gave a blahze' farewell, and that was it. All that history and all the memories will have to live on in our minds, because the walls are coming down. Moving across the street, the stadium will likely be a parking lot with a memorial. The cover of last week's Sports Illustrated was Yankee Stadium. The story actually made me a little misty-eyed. With Wrigley and Fenway, the last of the greatest generation's memories live on. Someday, they too will find themselves staring at the face of a wrecking ball. I just can't believe or imagine Major League Baseball without those three legends. Yankee Stadium - Wrigley Field - Fenway Park - We love you all.
