STADIUM STUB SEND-OFF
Derek Schultz
54.70 miles is the distance from 11 Blackhouse Road in Trumbull, Connecticut to East 161st Street and River Avenue in the Bronx, New York. There were many times that I made that trip. How many times? Frankly, I’m not sure. At the early part of this decade, I started to get in the habit of saving ticket stubs from every sporting event I attended. But, that was not a habit I had as a kid. Lately, I’ve been keeping all of the stubs in a standard envelope that I keep in my desk. At the present day, that thing is about as thick as a dictionary. While sitting through some of the Yankee Stadium closing festivities in my living room, I decided to take out my ticket stub folder, to see what Yankee stubs I had in there. I had 26 total stubs, but I don’t remember all the games I attended. Here are some of the Yankee Stadium memories that I can share with you:
July 25-28, 1988 vs. Brewers – NO TICKET STUB
Unfortunately, I do not have the ticket stub, so I can’t tell you what game I attended. I looked it up and the Yankees played two home series against Milwaukee that season, but one was the first week of April. Though I was only five-years old, I specifically remember it being during the summer. I went to the game with my dad, my cousin, and my Uncle. It was the first Yankee game I ever attended, but one of my only memories was that there was a person right in front of me with an all-orange Knicks hat on. I think I stared at the hat the whole game. Something else I remember is that my Uncle had an old Festiva that normally sat in his driveway, but we’d always take it to Yankee games. In the Festiva, he could literally weave by stopped cars in the parking garage on the way out after the game. My Uncle’s car was later aptly nicknamed “The Bronx Bomber.”
August 14, 1991 vs. Royals – SECTION 31, ROW H, SEAT 10
Future Yankee Danny Tartabull hit a grand slam in the 11th inning to break a 1-1 tie. It’s too bad Tartabull waited until he got to the Yankees to start to suck.
September 4, 1993 vs. Indians – SECTION 20, ROW J, SEAT 4
Perhaps my fondest Yankee Stadium memory was this day: Jim Abbott’s no-hitter. We became aware of exactly what was going on in the seventh inning, and stood for the rest of the game from that point. I still have the scorecard that I filled out from it (I incorrectly labeled strikeouts as “SO” instead of “K”). Abbott actually walked five batters in the game, according to my 10-year old calculations. Oddly enough, a member of my family has been in attendance at the last five Yanks' no-hitters/perfect games: Dave Righetti (’84), Jim Abbott (’93), Doc Gooden (’96), David Wells (’98), and David Cone (’99) .
Abbott's no-no was perhaps my favorite Yankee Stadium moment

September 5, 1993 vs. Indians – SECTION 20, ROW J, SEAT 4 (same season-ticket holder)
For a long time, I thought that this was Manny Ramirez’s Major League debut – it was actually three days before against Minnesota. Judging by the large contingent of people from Washington Heights sitting a few rows behind us, you could understand why I thought this. They had with them a big drum, and spent the game clapping and chanting “Manny! Manny! Manny!” That’s a chant I would grow to despise.
September 16, 1993 vs. Red Sox – SECTION 28 (I can’t make out the rest)
We had no school this day because of Rosh Hashanah (a Jewish holiday) and my dad, as well as my best friend Stollman and his dad, who oddly enough are both Jewish, took the trip to Yankee Stadium. This is the only Yanks/Red Sox game that I ever attended that I remember the Yankees losing. According to my scorecard, Scott Kamieniecki (yikes) got shelled.
May 20, 1995 vs. Orioles – SECTION 3, ROW H, SEAT 14
I don’t have any other stubs from this season and I can’t remember any other games that I might have attended. So, this could’ve been the last time that I ever saw Don Mattingly take the field.
April 9, 1996 vs. Royals – BLCH 41, ROW SS, SEAT 2
It was Opening Day and it was ungodly cold middle-of-the-week day game. We were later than we wanted to be because of snowy conditions, and the Deegan had traffic backed up to the 138th street exit. I believe Andy Pettite took a no-hitter into the sixth, but I don't have a scorecard, and all I could find from the game was a box score. I had a Chemistry test that day in school which I was excused from.
July 20, 1998 vs. Tigers – BLCH 39, ROW KK, SEAT 1
I remember attending almost a dozen games during the historic 125-win season, but the only loss I remember is this one to the crappy Tigers.
May 25, 1999 vs. Red Sox – BLCH 39, ROW MM, SEAT 6
Pedro Martinez was taking laps around the warning track during Sox batting practice and someone hit a double which rolled to the wall. We about two rows deep in a crowd of people by the left field foul pole and Pedro picked up the ball. He turned so his back was facing us and threw the ball up over his head. I caught it, and it still sits in my room to this day. By the way, Pedro may have had one of the ten greatest seasons that any pitcher has ever had that year (23-4, 2.07 ERA, 313 K, 0.92 WHIP) as he single-handedly led the Sox to the ALCS.
Just because I hate Pedro doesn't mean I won't keep a ball that he threw to me

April 2, 2001 vs. Royals – SECTION U7, ROW L, SEAT 4
Another school skipping day – this time I went with a buddy of mine (Brandon) and his dad, who scored Opening Day tickets. It was the first time the Yankees had actually opened the season at home in forever. I was there the final time that the Yankees raised a Championship flag. As a side note, his dad got absolutely hammered and Brandon had to drive home, with me sitting shotgun and his dad passed out in the cab.
April 20, 2001 vs. Red Sox – SECTION U22, ROW W, SEAT 9
Tino Martinez connected on a first-inning grand slam off of Hideo Nomo and that was all the Yankees needed in a 6-1 victory. I remember reminding some of the Boston fans around us where the exits were after Tino's slam. As you’ll notice from the stub, Section U22 is actually in the upper deck down the third base line and Row W is the fourth to last row (goes to Z). In reality, we sat three rows up from the left field foul pole, next to two friends (one Sox fan, one Yanks fan) who had bought up six seats only to be ditched at the last second.
August 14, 2001 vs. Devil Rays – BLCH 41, ROW KK, SEAT 6
This was exactly one week before I left to start my freshman year at Indiana. During a lengthy rain delay, a fan from the box seats in left jumped onto the field and dove head first on the centerfield tarp like a slip-and-slide. It looked like it was something totally worth getting arrested for.
June 29, 2003 vs. Mets – BLCH 39, ROW JJ, SEAT 4
This was the 2nd game in a day-night, two-stadium doubleheader with the Mets. I ended up spending the day in New York City with a few friends. After failing to get tickets for the game at Shea, we were able to land four to the night game for $50 apiece only 20 minutes before first pitch. I remember meeting the scalper underneath a Yankees’ apparel shop across the street, which had a bowling alley in the basement. I’ve never bought crack-cocaine or an illegal (or legal) firearm before, but I have a feeling this is what buying it would be like.
April 9, 2004 vs. White Sox - SECTION 26, ROW E, SEAT 11
I came back from Indiana to spend the Easter weekend with my parents in Connecticut. We went into the gates early and I caught a batting practice home run ball which I’ve claimed is from Frank Thomas, though that may or may not be true. Yanks got whacked, and we ended up leaving after the 8th.
June 27, 2004 vs. Mets – SECTION 327, ROW K, SEAT 8
Ruben Sierra capped a six-run first inning with a three-run homer that hit off the face of the rightfield upper deck and landed about six rows in front of us in the box seats. Per usual, my friend Jay (a Mets fan) came with us. I taunted him so badly that I remember getting punched in the stomach shortly after Sierra’s shot. It took me until the fourth inning to start breathing properly again.
August 2, 2008 vs. Angels – BLCH 53, ROW 5, SEAT 4
The final game I attended at Yankee Stadium. Two friends (TJ, Clark), TJ’s dad and I drove out from Indiana to go to a Friday and Saturday game. The Saturday game was the first (and only) time I ever sat in the left field bleachers. We did the Monument Park tour for a final time, and also got to see Mariano throw about 20 pitches in a bullpen session below us. The Yanks sent me out with an 8-2 win, and I blew the Stadium a final kiss goodbye on the way out of the tunnel.

I was going to give a glowing tribute to the Stadium, but I don’t feel qualified to do so. I’ve only experienced the place for the last 20 years. I wasn’t born yet when it was renovated in 1974-75. I wasn’t there for any of the All-Star games, World Series games, concerts, fights, football games, or visits from the Pope. So, I’ll leave the tributes to the people that know the place best. What I will say is that anyone that says that this isn’t the “real” Yankee Stadium because of the renovations doesn’t know what they’re talking about. The fact remains that Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Joe DiMaggio, Mickey Mantle, Reggie Jackson, and Derek Jeter all played on that same field. Sure, the surroundings may have changed, but the hallowed ground remains the same.
As we usher in the new era of billion-dollar stadiums with high-end restaurants, HD projection screens, luxury suites that cost more than a new car, and concessions with gourmet dishes and rare imported beer (maybe that's not such a bad thing), let's not forget what made places like Yankee Stadium special: the fresh air, the accents of the locals, trying to find a parking space, "19-18" chants, the black seats, Bob Sheppard's voice echoing over the PA, participating in the roll-call, "Box Seats Suck! Box Seats Suck!", the 161st street stop on the D-Train, $6.50 beers at Stan's scross the street, the Great Subway Race, "Enter Sandman" for Mariano Rivera's entrance (the only Metallica song that I can listen to), alcohol confiscation at the entrance of the bleachers, the big bat, tailgates in Lot C, Sinatra sending everyone to the exits, even the occassional urine smell - all of those memories sum up Yankee Stadium.
For me and countless others, it'll always feel like home.
Side note: My favorite moment in Yankee Stadium history came during Game 2 of the 1995 American League Divisional Series. Don Mattingly came up after a Ruben Sierra home run tied the game in the bottom of the sixth, and Donnie sent a go-ahead shot into the right field bleachers. I remember Gary Thorne saying something like "Hang on to your hats!" when the ball was disappearing into the euphoric crowd. That home run to me signified the end of the Dead Era (which unfortunately coincided with the entire Mattingly era) and though they didn't win it in '95, launched the Yankees into the impending Dynasty (1996-2003). Jim Leyritz capped it off with a 15th inning walk-off shot to give the Yankees a 2-0 series lead. In my opinion, it was one of the most underrated and overlooked wins in Yankee history.
SHOOTING THE REST OF THE SPORTS WORLD:
Swish:Hoosier RCA Dome
The Dome took its final breath on Wednesday morning as the roof was officially deflated. The actual superstructure (pretty cool word) of the building will not be imploded (another cool word) until December. I've only been in Indiana since the beginning of the decade, but had come to appreciate the old Dome. Sure, it was dumpy, but the place had character. I also think that anyone will tell you that compared to the new Lucas Oil Stadium, the crowd noise has significantly dwindled. Probably the highlight of the Dome, besides the Colts' comeback win over the Patriots in the AFC Championship game in January of '07, was the 1990 State basketball championship when Damon Bailey led Bedford North Lawrence to the victory in front of a sellout crowd. I believe that the construction of the Dome was the first step towards making Indianapolis a world-class sports city. Just think, that building set the foundation for Big Ten Championships, Pan Am Games, Final Fours, the 2012 Super Bowl, and possibly the Olympics (hopefully I won't be dead by then) coming to our fair city. I'll kinda miss that place.
The Dome had plenty of special memories to Indy sports fans
Swish: Ball State
Unquestionably the biggest win in Ball State football history came Saturday with their 42-20 thumping of Indiana in Bloomington. Even as an IU alum, you have to feel good for the Cardinals, especially RB MiQuale Lewis. Lewis had suffered back-to-back season-ending injuries in his first two seasons in Munice. Now fully healthy, he ran for 166 yards and four touchdowns in the victory. Something that I noticed when watching the game is that the Cardinals had bigger and better lines on both sides of the ball. A tip of the cap to Brady Hoke, who has done a masterful job since taking the reigns of the Ball State program. The Cardinals could be 10-0 heading into a huge matchup at Central Michigan on November 19th. It's still early to be talking BCS, but if things fall into place, you never know. By the way, our thoughts and prayers go out to Dante Love. His promising football career is likely over after a spinal injury in the 2nd quarter. The good news is that Dante will lead a healthy life.
Brick: Picking apart every blown call in the NFL
The Denver Broncos were the beneficaries of another official oversight in their win over New Orleans. Facing a third and one in Denver territory with just two minutes left, a Broncos defender (LB Jamie Winborn) blatantly lined up in the neutral zone. There was no flag and the Saints were stopped for a loss on the play. They had to settle for a 43-yard field goal, which Martin Grammatica missed, and ended up losing the game 34-32. Look, it was pathetic that the refs missed that call. Anyone could see from watching on TV that the Broncos were clearly lined up off sides. That being said, this doesn't come close to last week's blown call in the Broncos/Chargers game. That was a play that was actually reviewed (so the officials could clearly see it was a fumble), but the call stood anyway due to a technicality. There are going to always be human errors, even bad ones, in every NFL game. But, outside of the Jay Cutler fumble, let's not start blaming referees for every loss. Like Colts fans with the no-call on the Rashean Mathis pass interference - Indy gave up 263 rushing yards, they didn't deserve to win that game anyway.

Air Ball: Detroit Tigers
One of the alking heads on ESPN said yesterday that the Yankees were the biggest disappointment in baseball this season. While missing the playoffs for the first time since the strike-shortened 1994 season with a payroll over $200 million is a colossal disappointment, going from World Series favorite to last place is a lot worse. Such is the case with the Detroit Tigers. Detroit, who has been out of the playoff hunt since the All-Star Break, was beaten by Kansas City on Tuesday night. The loss put the Tigers alone in last place in the AL Central at 71-85, good for the third worst record in the American League. Detroit was considered a World Series favorite by many (including me) and a team that could score 1,000 runs after trading for Miguel Cabrera, Dontrelle Willis, and Edgar Renteria. But, the Tigers never recovered from an 0-7 start and their best record at any point this season was 55-52 on July 30th. They've waved the white flag as they've stumbled to a 5-15 record this month with losses in 11 of their last 12 games.
The Shots Fantasy Update:
Touchdown Jebus def. Plax On Plax Off, 83-69
After two weeks of scoring a grand total of 16 points, Ronnie Brown exploded for 42 this week while sitting on my fantasy bench. In another Herman Edwards-like move, I sat the Baltimore defense (21 points) in favor of Buffalo (3 points) which I had picked up last week when the Ravens/Texans game was postponed. This team is still going to be one of the better teams in the League as long as the Dallas offense continues to look like the 2007 Patriots. With Brown emerging as the potential starter in Miami, I may permanently use him in my flex and move Dwayne Bowe to my starting lineup. The only pick that I'm really regretting at this point is Torry Holt. For so long he was Mr. Consistency, but this St. Louis team might actually go 0-16.
I know Plax, I'm as surprised as you are.
Robinson Cano & Co. II leads Stewie, 7-3
One more week to go in my 9th place matchup...
Chuckie Three Stick-Up - 170 points, 4th place!
After a season-long climb, I have rocketed out of the basement and all the way to 4th place. Thanks to 2nd place finisher Brian Gay (72 points) for pacing me this week. All I have to do is hold on to a 119-point lead, which essentially means I just need to set a lineup.
Fantasy NASCAR - 239 points, forever stuck in 7th place
For the 2nd straight week, I inexplicably sat Greg Biffle at the last second (who won the freakin' race) in favor of Kyle Busch, who rewarded me with a last place finish. Luckily, Clint Bowyer (86 points) and Mark Martin (89 points) were able to pick me up a bit. There are ten races to go in The Chase, and I still have an outside shot at 4th place. No podium finish this year.
The Shots What to Watch this week:
White Sox at Minnesota, Tuesday-Thursday
The Sox and Twins are playing for one spot with the Red Sox clinching the Wild Card spot. I don't see either of these teams getting out of the first round, but that doesn't mean they won't fight to get onto the postseason dance floor.
Illinois at Penn State, Saturday
It's hard to gauge the Nittany Lions because they've played Temple, Syracuse, Oregon State, and Coastal Carolina to start the season. However some of those wins are impressive, considering that about eighty Penn State players have been arrested at some point over the past year. If Penn State is going to be a contender in the Big Ten, they'll have tokeep their players out of jail prove it with a home statement against a pretty good Illini team.
Washington at Dallas, Sunday
Did you know there are four teams in the NFC East? The 2-1 Redskins would certainly remind everybody with a win in Big D.
