85 and no longer counting

Here are the pictures from Monday, September 15, when the Yankees took on the White Sox in the seventh-to-last game at Yankee Stadium.

No, they are not in order.

And yes,we know Sammie is wearing a Braves outfit. We had to represent the South a little bit.

Sammie claps happily. She liked it when everyone clapped.

Old facade, meet new facade.

Wide shot of the field and sold-out stadium.

DeWayne Wise, right before he hit a home run in the 4th inning.

6th inning, while Kim is walking with Alex around the stadium.

We don't look too exhausted, despite it being late.

Jason Giambi knocks a ball foul down the line.

Me, enjoying a coke. We were in the back of the main level.
At least the seats were covered, in case it rained.

Sammie likes hot dogs. A lot.

From the upper deck.

From our seats, right near the foul pole. Nice shot down the line, aside from the giant yellow pole.

Shooting down from the 4 train platform onto 161st Street.

Sammie wisely takes a nap before the game starts in Stan's.

Alfredo Aceves started for the Yankees. I have not heard of him.

Outfielders (from bottom) Bobby Abreu, Brett Gardner, and Johnny Damon.

Folks coming over from the river side into the plaza.

Pretzels make us happy.

From the loge level.


Yawn. I'm getting tired. I want to make noise or run around soon.

Soon after, Mo came in, and they got to make a lot of noise. End game shot of two Yankee legends - Mariano Rivera and Derek Jeter, with two out in the 9th.

A fun and fond farewell.
