This awesome get over at Yankees Fan Sox Fan captured the last pitch of the now-retired Yankee Stadium, which saw it’s final game last night. The Yankees closed the stadium out in style by beating the Baltimore Orioles, 7-3.

There are an absolute ton of eulogies and fond memory posts about the gem of the Bronx going around the web and print right now, so I won’t bore you with my pedestrian views, except this:

It is, perhaps, fitting that one of the best closers in MLB history — Mariano Rivera — and one of the key cogs to the Yankees impressive post season run with Joe Torre threw the pitch that closed such a historic home for good.

Mariano Rivera: So good, his pitches can close stadiums. Forever.
