My father took me to my first ballgame at Yankees Stadium.  Years later I learned that he was a Brooklyn Dodgers fan and was heartbroken when they moved, so his taking me to my first ballgame at the site of his hated rivals must’ve been a little melancholy for him.  Yankees Stadium is as much a member of the Yankees as any player that has ever played there.  I’ll miss it.

Next Sunday, I’ll be at the last regular season game of Shea Stadium.  I am more a Mets fan, after all.
