Historic Yankee Stadium and surroundings

I wasn't a baseball fan until a gang of co-workers took me to a Yankee game sometime back in the late-70's (the Reggie Jackson/Billy Martin era). That began a long love affair of ups, downs and occasional hilarity, which came to a crashing halt with the firing of Joe Torre. Oh, well...I still love the old stadium and its history, and--I'm going to risk sounding like a cranky old-timer now--the new, gilded one will never compare!

I took these shots yesterday morning, the next-to-last day of games at the old stadium.

UPDATE: A couple of great pieces from The New York Times about the final game
