09/17: I Attended the First Game at Yankee Stadium and I'll Attend the Last One!
Ronald Blum of the AP spoke with Joe Mignogna, a 90 year old Yankees fan who attended the first game played at the stadium - when he was five.
“You want highlights?” he said. “I remember all the people—the fans and the dignitaries. The dignitaries wore fedoras, top coats. None of the fans here would have been let in.”
He plans to attend Sunday's regular season finale.
