– Babe Ruth, pre-the first ever game at Yankee Stadium, April 18, 1923

“Only God knows who will hit the last one here”
– Babe Ruth upon hitting the first ever home run at Yankee Stadium in the first game.

The final home-run to be hit here is the one everyone is waiting to see. Their have been two tonight so far, both for the Yankees the latest being by Jose Molina after Johnny Damon hit the first.

It is 10:50 p.m. and I have to be up by 6 a.m. for work but I refuse to go to bed while sporting history is in the making on the T.V. right now.
