One of the saddest Yankee games I have seen. I have watched many games and I always get choked up watching that because I miss the stadium alot. I like the new stadium but it is not as loud as the old one and the mystique and aura will never be there.
We kids got in for 25 cents, after the third inning, and sat by the bullpen. We gave the guys our CrackerJacks and one of them befriended us. One day the Brownies were in town and he told us that the tall black guy on the mound was the greatest pitcher in the history of baseball. Oh! The releiver was a guy named Joe Page. One day, Yogi was off, so he caught the bullpen; what a fine man. Thanks for this video.
I am a huge Yankee fan but I never liked the new stadium. A big part of baseball's history died with the demolition of Yankee Stadium...screw those new little-league sized parks
There's one thing for sure about New York and its people, once you get to know them , it's impossible not to love them, one of a kind and second to none.
Tear down its towers, and they will build more of them and better ones, it is the New York Spirit.
Jesus Christ, when Yogi goes a part of New York will die. Never been a fan of the new stadium, I've been lucky enough to go on field when my friend and I won a Tropicana contest the included fielding lessons from Pat Kelly and batting lessons from Donny and Bernie.
i remember going to yankee stadium with my father before he passed away ive never been to a place with the energy and atmosphere of yankee stadium yogi may not miss it but i will
Think about it though guys..I love 161 and River Ave..I'm Bronx born and raised...but the Stadium of the Babe, Gherig, DiMaggio, Yogi, Whitey and the countless other legends went away when they remodeled the place back in the 1970s..I am going to miss this place though..
i went to the yankee game today and i drove by the old stadium and saw it ripped apart, seats flying around, wood hanging from the old upper deck and the entire outfield including the bleachers were gone. Its a shame that they would demolish a piece of history like this, im only 13 and i know the meaning of the stadium. I go to the new yankee stadium and it doesnt feel the same in any way. The history seems vanished but the Yankees will live forever.
I remember watching this in my dorm after the game ended. I was literally tearing up. It's an absolute crime that the old Yankee Stadium isn't going to be preserved as a National Landmark or something. It's not right to tear down history.
@NonsensicalCookies same here it really didnt hit me until he said "just like the homeruns that built it this place will soon be outta here gone history"
I was at the last game at the old place. The hardest part was the moments after Jeter finished talkin and everyone realized at the same time that THAT WAS IT. Still have mixed feelings bout the move.
this clip right here is what baseball and sports is all about. watching this gives me chills everytime and i don't much care for the yankess. so yea.....
I've been going to Yankee games since 1958, I hated the idea of a new stadium. But when I walked into the new stadium, I couldn't believe it. The new Yankee Stadium is the greatest ball park ever built. I've been to 18 major league parks and nothing comes close to the new stadium.
the yanks lost a crucial homefield advantage when they left yankee stadium. this new stadium is so exclusive and high tech that there's no charm in it. they shoulda just renovated the old park, but george wouldnt do it. what does he care anyway? he'll be dead in 5 years. the yankees just sold their soul to the devil
The new stadium is so unbelievably beautiful. But it's an absolute shame that the Yankees are treating their most dedicated fans the way they are. The front office are thieves and they are robbing us of supporting our team just like they robbed us of the original Yankee stadium. I can't wait until every seat in their 1.5 billion dollar ballpark is empty and the Steinbrenners realize that they can't make championship rings out of $1250 seats, Hard Rock cafe's, and an HDTV in dead center.
i saw the yankees-red sox game at the new stadium. there were sections full of empty seats. EMPTY. i dont care if there was a 5-hour rain delay, people would always stay for a game at the old one no matter what, includng myself. its just not the same.
It didn't hit me that it was the last game until the 9th inning, 2 outs left. I couldn't turn the TV off, i was frozen watching the screen, to get every last glimpse of the stadium i could
If your a real Yankee fan you cried the 1st time you saw this that final night against Baltimore. If you didn't please don't consider yourself a true fan.
Yogi Berra,, Played with Dimaagio and the great Mickey Mantle..He caught the greats, Vic Rashi, Allie Reynolds, and the Chairman of the Board Whitey Ford..He managed the mets & the yanks...Yogi-you are still here..The final link from Ruth to Jeter....Yogi You have been with us ( the fans) for all the decades...The 40s,the 50s and the 60s, the 70s, 80, 90s, and now 2009! Yogi..Your day in Yankee Stadium will be a blessed day!. We love ya. Bill Dickey will have to wait.
I heard Jeter may be batting leadoff this year... May it be so then he has a chance to be the first Yankee to get a hit in the new Yankee Stadium? Just a thought...
i think jeter will bat first and damon 2ndbecause jeter gets on base like alot and damon is a homerun hitter i guess u can say so if u let damon bat first and he get a homerun there is a run but switch so jeter gets on base then damon hits hr there 2 runs instead of 1 so that i what i think the reason for the change is what u think
Even tho we are from NC, my wife & I love the Yankees. There will never be another Yankee Stadium. We try to catch a series every year. I have been a fan for 50 years. We love Mickey & Yogi the most. We just got a puppy & of course named him "Yogi" !
ur right> The hell does it have 20000 views Only. Its yankee stadium, the cathedral of baseball. The best sports place in the world,most pride and iam Proud to have been there and be a yankee fan.
Yea this may be the most strongest video ive ever watched emotionally. Props to the producers who created this commercial. It really does make us realize there IS nothing to miss, because its only gonna be in our hearts for as long as we are alive. Yankee Stadium, Yankee Stadium, ........Our Stadium.
i always gonna miss this stadium. i went to my first yankee game at yankee stadium in 2007. i remember like it was yesterday going thru the tunnel and see the field. i can feel the aura and rich tradtion here. great players played here. is sad to see it go but is gonna be in my memories . i will tell my kids that i went to yankee stadium the original yankee stadium
I remember my first time at Yankee Stadium was in 2005. I remember the first time entering there I got goosebumps since I this was where Babe Ruth, Mickey Mantle, Joe Dimmagio and Yogi Berra played in.
This beautiful video captures the essence of the most hallowed cathedral in sports. A spot of purity and goodness in a whorl of madness. A place where men get to become boys once again, and feel the fabric of their boyhood dreams.
This place, so storied, so loved, is the real Field of Dreams.
Let's make the New Yankee Stadium, built on the shoulders of the old, stand even taller.
im gonna have to disagree with shea aka shit stadium as being the best place in the world, that place has no atmosphere, except for choaking:) but im really gonna miss THE STADIUM i grew up there. Yankee Stadium best place in the world forever in my heartt<333
Yankee Stdadium was my 2nd home and i am gonna miss it. But Yogi's right we just gotta move on and REMEMBER all the great moments. Lets go Yankees! ='{
its hard to say you won't miss it, i feel bad though, my grandfather was a yankee fan his whole life like me, but he was never able to go there. its sad to think the place he grew up watching his heros make history will no longer be used.
the last few games there were not about the Yankees at all...it was about baseball and everything it has been to us throughout the years. James Earl Jones said it best in Field Of Dreams when he said the one thing constant has been baseball. America has changed and will always continue to change, but the memories of all that has happened at Yankee Stadium and everywhere else will never be forgoten. Yogi got it right when he said its inside of you. Its a part of you. Kudos Yogi. Perfectly said...
I'm seriously gonna miss this place..... Never again will fans chant in that park, players bat where the babe batted, track fly balls where the Mick and DiMaggio once had... It's just really depressing...
every time i walked into yankee stadium it felt great, walking through the gates in the bleachers seeing behind home plate and all the lights. best moments of my live
I'm a die hard yankee fan. I've watched the last series game opener at yankee stadium and the last game at yankee stadium. this commerical reminded me of how big of a part of history yankee stadium is and it's not just about baseball. to all red sox fans: if you didn't enjoy seeing yankee stadium, then you have no heart. even sox fans have things to remember in this stadium. not giving any examples cuz i'm kind of ashamed of them. one more time before the stadium goes down-LETS GO YANKEES!!!!!!!
yogi i love you. im going to miss yankee stadium so much ive grown up there, i literally cant remember a summer where i didnt go to the south bronx. i was at the final game and i must have stayed in the stadium till 1am just remincing. i dont want the new stadium at all, its just a coporate ripoff, if you have never been to the real yankee stadium sucks for you, because the new one wont have the history the real one did
ur going to the playoffs? really? do u have tickets to see the brewers play in philly? Actually was a fitting end to shea today considering last yrs gem by glavin, the game 7 loss to the cards and who celebrated their world series win @ shea in 2000? Wasn't that the yanks. Glad I could help send u on a trip down memory lane
Beautiful. It brought tears to my eyes when I first saw it. I'm a Tigers fan and I don't particulary care for the Yankees, but I'm big on tradition and Yankee Stadium has more tradition and history in it than any sports venue had, has or ever will have
I'm not yankee hater, but i am a die hard red sox fan. but more so a die hard fan of baseball. im gonna miss yankee stadium. Yankee stadium truely is the most amazing place as far as american sports are concerned. I can't belive its gonna be gone. this vid gives me goosebumps.
i love the yankees and this videos makes me want to cry. i wish i could have gone to the stadium. but next year im going to the new one. Yankee Stadium-Always Remembered
yogi is the man! i've been fortunate to have been to yankee stadium almost every year of my life. i have so many memories from being there, including going to a game on 9/10/2001 and the subway series as well as some red sox games. every time i walked in there, i got chills. it never got old. never.
yeah it has less seats and it was built on top of a kids park... I just like to blame it on george its hard to believe that the new york city government would tear down something so great and they raised tiket prices 5 percent.... craziness
i remember as an 8 year old kid watching the Subway Series, my first ever world series. I clearly remember clemens throwing the bat at piazza. thats when i fell in love with the game. Jeter became my favorite player. And my whole life i loved watching the playoff games at yankee stadium, the atmosphere and aura of that place during playoff time...nothing better.
my eyes just watered idc if people call me a fag that my eyes teared, its sad, if you think about it its just gonna be a field of grass and trees next year the house that ruth built will be gone
you really don't need to be a baseball fan to want to visit it; you could visit to see site of greatest game ever played, or the long string of many historic boxing matches
I'm not a Yankees fan, but I am a baseball fan and I feel very, very fortunate that I can count myself among the 151,959,005 people who enjoyed a baseball game inside Yankee Stadium's hallowed walls. Goodbye old friend; you will be missed dearly.
who cares about parking if your near the place just friggin walk or if your out of the city take a train, bus, plane, hell if ur in california walk from there
i cant believe they are doing this to their fans. I hate george has to make it all about money. No one will be able to play where the mick played or babe... I hate this and I wished they would stay put. now they are in legal trouble.. shoulda left well enough alone
george has no say in the stadium, the city owns yankee stadium and they wanted to make a new one to add more seats and higher ticket sales so they make more money
I'm still kinda amazed they're tearing it down, andnot just gutting it and leaving the field or something... plus i heard they were going to make it a protected building or something like that, but i guess not anymore :P
Touching and powerful commercial, that sends a lasting image of the great Yankees that played in Yankee stadium. I might hate the team, but I can't deny their history, and for that I'm honored to have had the luxury to go to Yankee stadium and see it with my own eyes.
im so happy i got to go there before its being torn down it was my dream come true cus im a yankee fan. its a day ill never forget. so many memories in that stadium its a part of not just baseball or sports but american history.
Lemmie tell you i saw yankee stadium for the first time september 17th against the white sox and i had great seats right behind the yankee dugout.... as soon as i saw that stadium for the first time with my own eyes i felt the spirit of every yankee player and fan run right threw me...ill never forget thatt greatest day of my life every time i see this commercial i tear the yankees are baseball too me......
I can't stop thinking about this video when I think of how powerful of a place it was. I am glad that Yogi was able to remind us where the magic of Yankee stadium lives.
i actually cried right before this came on. started thinking about my first game, with my dad, grandfather, uncle, and cousin. the day mantle died. walking through the tunnel and seeing the field for the first time. and every time i had gone since it was like i was there for the first time. and just to think that i'll never go again, never be able to walk on the same outfield that dimaggio ran on, never be able to take my kid there one day. overwhelming. i think part of me will die with the park
A product of the NY/NJ/PA tri-states I was raised a Yankee fan. The stadium represented the one thing that both my grandmother and I both were passionate about. The only one in my family that loved the Yankees. Now that mystical building is kaput. Unfortunately I live in Illinois now where baseball is seen as a drunken endeavor. The 2 hour drive on I-84 to NY 17 to I87 to the Bronx will never be the same again. Yogi, thank you it helped a lot. And Jeter, yes the next generation will know.
I knew that at some point last night that Iwould cry... And when the game was over, nothing, and when they all tipped their caps, nothing, but when this ended, this perfect summery of how to feel, and how the stadium will go on forever, i broke down. Thank you Yogi.
last night was one of the toughest times in my life. realizing as i sat in my seat till 1 o clock that they would never play there again, it almost me throw up.Since i was a lil kid,goin to the ballpark withmy father was a time to escape and really be happy.Everytime i pass the stadium which is about 10000 times,i cant help butlook.Even though ive seen it so many times, its like i cant look away.I bet all yankee fans feel this way.Yankee stadium is my home and without it,i dont know what ill do.
I'm not a big Yankees fan...but I'm a baseball fan. When I saw this video after the game last night...well, let's just say I was reaching for the kleenexes. Love it.
I will miss THE yankee stadium so much!!! i loved going there. with my family and getting baseballs signed by the players...and the crosswalk sign really does exist. Its right by the entrance to the stadium where the subway passes over you.
Well done video. I don't like the Yankees but the Stadium was home to a lot of great memories. Even they are just moving right across the street, this place had a lot of memories. I would love to go to Yankee Stadium just to look at it and just smile :)
I dont know the actual location, but I can bet 99% if you just walk around the surrounding streets of the stadium, it has to be on one of them... sounds like a trip for when you get bored... that is if you live in NY anyway.
I can understand them moving and all, but I do not think they should knock it down. This place has a lot of history to it. Yeah, it will be in your memories forever, but what about the younger generations who will never see it? 50 years from now, all the people who have all of thoes memories off all the greats will be dead and can't tell the stories the way they should be told. This stadium is the ultimate symbol of American sports. I do not support its destruction.
The great thing about this vid is that it speaks, really, to all stadiums. Every fan who had a stadium close, from going there as a child until adulthood. It becomes a second home, and is like a part of you torn away when it's gone.
I've been to a few major league parks but untill you are in Yankee Stadium and feel aura and actually feel the fans power you can't realize what a special place this is. It's the Cathedral of baseball for fathers and sons. One of a kind. The only place that experiences a similar interaction between players and fans is probably Fenway. I just know that in all of sports there are no more vocal, loyal, and knowledgable fans then Yankee fans and Red Sox fans. This is from a Die Hard Yankee fan
i think rivalries can take a seat on this. red sox/yankees yankees/mets..it all doesnt matter. what matters is that we are all sad to see this one go. a lot of good memories. and as red sox fan, i will really miss yankee stadium. you dont see grown men cry too often, but believe me, tears were shed when the lights finally went out. "only this time, it aint over when it's over, because it is still right here" goodbye old friend. goodbye.
Wathing this video last night after the last game was played at Yankee Stadium, brought me back to the 50's when my father first brought us there-Yogi was catching and Mantle was in right field. Great memories of a great place. Last night's game and these words of Yogi's brought a lump to my throat and some moisture to my eyes. I've not been back to the stadium now for many many years but do feel a bit like Yogi does-"it's still right here."
i'm a phillies fan, but more importantly a baseball fan. i gotta admit whoever did this found a way to really capture all this emotion. baseball's history is so rich and full of good people. ol' pappy Berra, and his voice found a way to give this philly fan a lump in the throat.
C'mon bro. I'm a die-hard Mets fan as well as the next guy. But don't put down your fellow New Yorkers. We're losing THE most memorable icon in the city, and we need to pay our respects where respect is due.
(Red Sox fan) I can't belive its finally gone. Last night was hard to swallow. I can't believe that ump had the Audacity to ring Jeter up twice. Tearing it down is a horrible idea, A muesem or a youth field should be made out of the stadium. Sad part is we can no longer say: Thats where Reggie hit 3HRs in the WS, Thats where Yogi caught Larsen's perfect game, Thats where Maris hit #61. I hate to see it go but as they say "All good things come to an end"
A nice commercial considering how ripped off the taxpayers of NYC are getting footing the bill for the new stadium. Yankee Player getting payed 28 million a season... and they can't afford to build their own... 5000 fewer seats for Joe Public so the Fat Cats can have good seats... WHAT A RIPOFF...!!!!
Not gonna lie this commercial made me cry. Yesterday was so bitter sweet. I had goose bumps the whole game and it felt so good to watch them win their last game there. What a story that Stadium has. I went to the All Star Game there this summer. My first, last and only trip to the Stadium. An 18 year dream. Such a beautiful site it was, and is...
Yes. The Yankees/Mets rivalry is quite deep. However, you have no respect nor love for the rivalry, the teams, the history, or the game, proven by the insulting, the foul language, and the caps lock.
We're not even discussing rivalry, you klutz. You're entirely missing the point of discussion here, and you're digging for insults to try to validate your irrelevant argument. I'm from Ohio ace, home of the biggest rivalry in sports. But did I laugh and poke fun at Michigan when their long time coach Bo Schembechler died? No, because I have a soul and I respect the spirit of competition. It goes beyond rivalry, way beyond.
Learn some dignity and get your head out of your ass, son.
One of the saddest Yankee games I have seen. I have watched many games and I always get choked up watching that because I miss the stadium alot. I like the new stadium but it is not as loud as the old one and the mystique and aura will never be there.

This beautiful video captures the essence of the most hallowed cathedral in sports. A spot of purity and goodness in a whorl of madness. A place where men get to become boys once again, and feel the fabric of their boyhood dreams.
This place, so storied, so loved, is the real Field of Dreams.
Let's make the New Yankee Stadium, built on the shoulders of the old, stand even taller.
God bless you, Yogi.

" i won't miss this place, it is inside of me."

the last few games there were not about the Yankees at all...it was about baseball and everything it has been to us throughout the years. James Earl Jones said it best in Field Of Dreams when he said the one thing constant has been baseball. America has changed and will always continue to change, but the memories of all that has happened at Yankee Stadium and everywhere else will never be forgoten. Yogi got it right when he said its inside of you. Its a part of you. Kudos Yogi. Perfectly said...

I've watched the last series game opener at yankee stadium and the last game at yankee stadium. this commerical reminded me of how big of a part of history yankee stadium is and it's not just about baseball. to all red sox fans: if you didn't enjoy seeing yankee stadium, then you have no heart. even sox fans have things to remember in this stadium. not giving any examples cuz i'm kind of ashamed of them. one more time before the stadium goes down-LETS GO YANKEES!!!!!!!

A product of the NY/NJ/PA tri-states I was raised a Yankee fan. The stadium represented the one thing that both my grandmother and I both were passionate about. The only one in my family that loved the Yankees. Now that mystical building is kaput. Unfortunately I live in Illinois now where baseball is seen as a drunken endeavor. The 2 hour drive on I-84 to NY 17 to I87 to the Bronx will never be the same again. Yogi, thank you it helped a lot. And Jeter, yes the next generation will know.

I've been to a few major league parks but untill you are in Yankee Stadium and feel aura and actually feel the fans power you can't realize what a special place this is. It's the Cathedral of baseball for fathers and sons. One of a kind. The only place that experiences a similar interaction between players and fans is probably Fenway. I just know that in all of sports there are no more vocal, loyal, and knowledgable fans then Yankee fans and Red Sox fans. This is from a Die Hard Yankee fan

Wathing this video last night after the last game was played at Yankee Stadium, brought me back to the 50's when my father first brought us there-Yogi was catching and Mantle was in right field. Great memories of a great place. Last night's game and these words of Yogi's brought a lump to my throat and some moisture to my eyes. I've not been back to the stadium now for many many years but do feel a bit like Yogi does-"it's still right here."

Yes. The Yankees/Mets rivalry is quite deep. However, you have no respect nor love for the rivalry, the teams, the history, or the game, proven by the insulting, the foul language, and the caps lock.
You bring shame to your team, and to the game.
densuo 3 years ago
We're not even discussing rivalry, you klutz. You're entirely missing the point of discussion here, and you're digging for insults to try to validate your irrelevant argument. I'm from Ohio ace, home of the biggest rivalry in sports. But did I laugh and poke fun at Michigan when their long time coach Bo Schembechler died? No, because I have a soul and I respect the spirit of competition. It goes beyond rivalry, way beyond.
