When Money Gets In the Way of the Game: The Destruction of Yankee Stadium

This season had been an absolute disappointment for the Yankees. In the last year of the greatest baseball stadium ever created, the Yankees won't be playing in October. There will be no new postseason and World Series memories to be made. Once again, us Yankee fans will have to remember the glory days. For me, being only 16, those glory days were in the beginning of the Joe Torre era. From 1996 to 2000, the Yankees never disappointed me (excluding '97). By the time I was 10, I thought that it was the Yankees' right to play in the World Series. There were so many memories during my life at Yankee Stadium. Cone's and Wells' perfect games, the 2001 World Series, the 1998 team (greatest baseball team ever), and so many more. There are the greats that have played on that field: Ruth, Gehrig, Dimaggio, Mantle, Maris, Ford, Munson...if I keep, going I could fill an entire book. Baseball will still always be America's pastime, and Yankee Stadium will be America's ballpark. I don't care what you guys ... (link)
