Our Farewell Trip Mike DiPatri 6/22/07
Living in Arizona, I don’t get the opportunity to go to games at Yankee Stadium any more. Because of the impending demise of the stadium, I felt it important to make one more trip to see her. My youngest son had never been, so we made a big trek of it. Yankee Stadium is one of those places every baseball fan should see; whether a Yankees fan or not. This trip will surely be our last time seeing the old place so we made the best of it. Here are just some of the pictures we took.

The address of the corporate office of Major League Baseball. “ The Big Ball Park in the Bronx” |
|
And here’s the best way to get there |
|
The Ghosts |
|
The Façade |
|
“Meet me at The Bat!” |
|
The place I most wanted to see |
|
The Mick and me! |
|
Where the ghosts live |
|
My son Frank thought it was great being in the same dugout that Joe D sat in! |
|
It was a great trip. My son got a chance to see the place where the game was perfected. He made his pilgrimage to baseball’s holy land. I had my last chance to say good-bye to the great cathedral. We have a lot more pictures from each day, but I can’t put all of them here. The pages would just take too long to load. You can see all of them at my MySpace site. Our next trip will be to the new stadium.
Let me know what you think of our trip. Click feedback below to leave me a note.
Thanks. Mike |

Almost Game Time |

Yankees loaded bases in 1st. They beat the D’Backs 7-1 Andy pitched and he was on that day |

“Hip-Hip, Jorge!” |

From our seats. It may look like a studio backdrop, but it’s real! |
