NEW YORK (AP) - After 85 years, Yankee Stadium is closing down.Sunday night's game with the Baltimore Orioles was the finale
for the famed Bronx ballpark that opened in April 1923. And the
Yankees closed it out in style, beating Baltimore 7-3.
Eighty-three-year-old Yankee legend Yogi Berra, who coined the
phrase "it ain't over till it's over," put his own stamp on the
day saying, "I'm sorry to see it over, I'll tell you that."
All the greats were remembered during a 65-minute pregame
ceremony that included 21 retired players, six of them Hall of
Famers.
Reggie Jackson said, "I feel like I'm losing an old friend."
Outside Yankee Stadium, the marquee that usually has the day's
start time and opponent said: "Thanks for the Memories."
A new 1.3 billion-dollar Yankee Stadium opens across the street
next year.
