September 30, 1973, can it really be 50 years? It was a beautiful, sunny fall day for a baseball game and the last game ever at The House that Ruth Built—the 1973 season also marked George Steinbrenner’s first season as the majority owner of the New York Yankees. Throughout the season, I had been thinking about the last game. I grew up near Yankee Stadium and had been going to games there since the summer of 1952. I would love to hear your anecdotes and personal experiences of your favorite ballpark.
