The last game at the old Yankee Stadium was almost a month ago.

While visiting the folks in New York City, not far from Yankee Stadium, I have my own memories about it.

Players and fans alike have their own memories and how much they're gonna miss it.

Even ESPN got into the "all Yankee Stadium greatest memories all the time" on the very last home game which was on September 29th.

I'm gonna miss it too and some of it has nothing to do with baseball.

I have more personal memories.

Growing up in the Harlem section of Upper Manhattan, I could look out my fifth floor living room window and see the big ballpark in the Bronx.

On game nights, I could hear the organ and the familiar chant of "CHARGE!"

I learned how to tell time by the old Longines clock that is no longer there.

After church, my aunt and I would stop for cake at the bakery, which was a block away from the stadium.

It, too, is no longer there.

If the place looked big in person and on television, imagine how it looked to a 10-year old girl looking out the window.

I've heard everyone moaning and groaning on how this stadium isn't going to be like the old stadium.

News flash, people. Guess some of you forgot that in the 1970s, the Yankees had to play in Shea Stadium while Yankee Stadium was being "refurbished."

That was the stadium that everybody is in mourning about now.

Don't cry for the ballpark. The Yankees aren't moving to Connecticut or New Jersey.

They'll only be an A-Rod home run away from the old one, like right next door.

People in my old neighborhood will still be able to walk across the 155th Street Bridge to yell and scream at the Boston Red Sox when they come to town.

Some of you will take the train and get off at the same train stop – the one that reads "161st Street, River Avenue – Yankee Stadium."

Somewhere in Upper Manhattan or the Bronx even, some 10-year old will still be able to look out their window and see Yankee Stadium just like I did.
