The sun has set on the “house that Babe built”. One of the last of the old grand ballparks saw its last game on Sunday. The first game was played April 18, 1923 against the rival Boston Red Sox. This Bronx icon has seen baseball legends like Yogi Berra, Mickey Mantle, Reggie Jackson, Lou Gerhig, Joltin’ Joe DiMaggio and of course the Sultan of Swat, the great Babe Ruth. As demolition begins and Yankee Stadium is sold off brick by brick, fans everywhere pause to mourn the end of an era. A lifelong Yankee fan, I will forever regret not having the opportunity to visit Yankee Stadium. Here’s to the grand ol' House of Ruth and thanks for the memories.
