53 And A Half Weeks Left For The Old Digs

From the AP -

Yankee Stadium is set to host its final regular-season game on Sept. 21, 2008, with New York playing Baltimore.

Shea Stadium will hold its regular-season wrapup a week later, on Sept. 28 against Florida.

The Yankees and Mets recently received schedule drafts for the 2008 season from the commissioner's office. The Yankees also will host the All-Star Game.

Both New York teams are moving into new ballparks in 2009.

I plan on being at the Stadium a week from this Friday - to see the Yankees host the Jays. It's going to be strange now...knowing that game will mark the one-year countdown to the last game to be played in this Stadium.

Of course, if the Yankees make the post-season next year, then it really won't be the "last game" on September 21, 2008.

Sadly, I don't think I'll be able to make it back to the city for one last game at the stadium.
