A visual and written account of the final game played in Yankee Stadium, told from the perspective of a devoted fan and professional writer who eloquently delivers a fond final salute to the grandest of all stadiums. After an introductory essay about the author's lifelong relationship with the Stadium, this photo-essay tribute takes the reader from the pre-game activities in the surrounding neighborhood through many of the Stadium's key aspects - Memorial Park, the bleachers, the groundskeepers, batting practice and on to the game. While viewing the pre-game ceremonies and historic moments in the game itself, the reader pays one final visit to the food stands, familiar decades-old walkways and ramps, with a brief stop to savor the final setting of the sun behind the grandstands. Then it is on to the post-game celebration and sad final trek through the exits. These personal photographs from a loving fan's perspective are accompanied by brief, poignant commentaries. Truly a book to savor for its evocative delivery of one of baseball's most memorable days.
