Here are two pictures my dad and I snapped of the old Yankee Stadium, which is half-way torn down. It is sad to see memories in such shambles, but the many, many nights I spent at the run-down ballpark are some of my dearest.
My dad’s most vivid memories happened here, riding the train from Queens with his brother just to stand as some areas had no seat.
I can say I saw Pettitte, Martinez, O’Neil, Mussina, Williams, Jeter, Arod, Rivera, Clemens, Matsui, Skipper Torre’s dynasty years, the start of Skipper Girardi but also Girardi the player and so many other all-stars.
My father can add the years of Rizzuto, Maris, Yogi, DiMajjio, Mantle, Penella, Gomez, Ford to name a few. That must have been incredible, but this Yankees Stadium was just that kind-of place.
THANKS FOR ALL THE MEMORIES!!
