Even though I hate the Yankees, this is still a sad scene for any baseball fan.

Gee thanks! I really didn't need to cry over another legendary baseball stadium coming down. Where is all the history going? We'll miss you Yankee Stadium.

A lot of it was auctioned off about a year ago (seats, lockers and various other items), so there is a lot of stuff out there with private owners and some museums.

There is a group trying to save part of a wall and gate section ( http://savetheyankeegate2.com/ ) as part of the park that is going to the old stadium location...but it looks like the group is running out of time.

Yes...very sad to see another historic stadium going away. Basically, all that is left of the 'hay-day' parks of early baseball is Wrigley and Fenway.
