Bidding Adieu To Yankee Stadium
New York City said goodbye to Yankee Stadium Sunday. New York beat Baltimore 7-3, but they missed the playoffs. So they go directly to New York's traditional postseason recriminations. The Yankees are replacing the stadium where Babe Ruth hit home runs, and Lou Gehrig said goodbye. The stadium's epitaph comes from Yogi Berra, the Yankee who famously said, "It ain't over til it's over." Berra says, "I'm sorry to see it over."
