These are sorry times here in Yankee Stadium. It feels like the final days of the Nixon White House. Fifteen games remain at the iconic stadium, and it looks as though the curtain will drop for good Sept. 21 when the Yankees play host to the awful Baltimore Orioles.

No soup for you this year, New York. No October baseball. No famous final scene for the most celebrated sports theater in North America.

A great read by Dan Shaughnessy. I thought the following tidbit was interesting...

Teddy Ballgame would have ended his career in Yankee Stadium if he had played the final games of the 1960 season, but he did not accompany the Sox to New York after homering in his last time up at Fenway.
