Last week I went to Yankee Stadium for the last time. It was very appropriate that my last game at Yankee Stadium was spent with my Dad. The man that taught me everything I know about the Yankees and baseball. Kinda funny that my heroes growing up were more of my fathers hero's, like Mickey Mantle, Joe DiMaggio, Yogi Berra, and Roger Maris. Mickey was my fathers favorite player so naturally he became mine, even though I would never see him play. My Dad would tell me stories of Mickey's monstrous home runs, world series wins, and how he could have been better if he could have stayed healthy. I remember going to the ball park on the day that Mickey died. My Dad and I would do a father son game with my friend C
