NEW YORK, Sept. 22 (UPI) -- Baseball's most legendary field, New York's Yankee Stadium, finished its 85-year run Sunday as the sport's cathedral with a 7-3 Yankees win over Baltimore.
The stadium opened in 1923 and has been the scene of 23 world championships for the New York Yankees, with a new stadium is set to open next door in 2009. Sunday's game had the feeling of a World Series contest, with bunting along the upper deck and the feeling that the Yankees had to win, The New York Times reported.
