When I was 11, I witnessed one of the greatest sporting moments of all-time: Jim Abbott’s no-hitter at Yankee Stadium. Since it’s one of my favorite childhood memories, it’s pretty tough to know that in the Bronx this week that old stadium is being removed piece by piece.
But if you’re a glutton for punishment like I am, you can take a look at these pics and videos of the demolition. Maybe play some “In My Life” in the background for the full effect. Trust me, it’s a tear-jerker.
RIP Yankee Stadium.
