favorite September game the stadium

my favorite September game at the stadium was he last game of he season 1998. it was jow dimaggio day. I believe it was the last game he was at the stadium. not sure as I missed he start of the game. I was is it in long island and on the way home I stopped to se if I could get aticket. I s ores a seat 6th row behind home just off the screen and for just55 bucks.
anyways, I Rabu was pitching against a bad rays team. his high fastballs were being tipped, and peppering us with fouls. I would have never got to keep one as I was surrounded by kids and I would let one have it if I caught one, but I did get one as I was exiting the tunnel with my beers ( plural ) . with no kids around, I kept it, and gave it to an elderly yankees fan many years later.. the ball was odd as it had blue laces. special for the game.

when joe passed he next spring,they had a special game with Paul Simon at the stadium. I had to complete the experience, so I drove the 11 hours round trip to the game.
