Out with the old, in with the new
After hosting MLB games since 1923, yesterday marked the last ever home game played at the Yankees Stadium as the New York Yankees are out of the playoff race. I have been a Yankees fan for almost 10 years now during the legacy years of Joe Torre who won four World Series title with the Yankees. I have witness a lot of ups and downs during the ten years watching the Yankees, such as the Subway Series against the New York Mets in 2000 and also the devastating 0-3 from behind win by our bitter rivals the Red Sox that virtually ended the Curse of the Bambino (*see below for did you know? ;) in 2004.
I have not visited the Yankees Stadium (which i still regret to this very day), but i am looking forward to grace the new Yankees Stadium hopefully by next year *fingers crossed* And what a way for the often quiet Yankees captain Derek Jeter to thank the fans for their unrivalled support throughout the team's tenure at the stadium at the end of the game, that was class by him. As they say, out with the old, in with the new.
Did you know? The Curse of the Bambino was a superstition which began when Babe Ruth (who was called the Bambino) was sold from the Red Sox to the Yankees in 1919/1920 and the Red Sox has not won a World Series title ever since while the Yankees won 26 =) However, the curse was broken in 2004 after the Red Sox won it beating the Yankees 4-3 after 7 games.
