...Like Tears in the Rain...

Tomorrow an old friend dies. He lived a good life, Hell, 85 years is one heckuva a nice run. Guess that's easy for me to say...I'll still be here. Still, I have to say the things my friend has seen with his eyes, the moments he has been apart of, the people he's known...wow! My guy has had more great moments then any of his peers. It's not even close. I should have visited more often. Tomorrow we lose a good one. Tomorrow Yankee Stadium, the house that Ruth built will host it's last game. Ever.

Ruth's home runs, Gehrig's goodbye, Notre Dame winning just ONE for the Gipper, Louis destruction of the Nazi dream, Reggie's three homer night, Don Larsen's day of perfection, Maris's 61st, the "greatest NFL game ever", Jackie stealing home and stealing hearts, Bednariks near beheading of Frank Gifford, Brett's pine tar fueled rampage, Jeffrey "the kid that caught the ball" Maier, Jeter's catch, 17 ...SEVENTEEN CLINCHING WORLD SERIES GAMES FOR THE HOME TEAM Yankees, so many moments! "Oh the things I've seen with your eyes".

Time to move on old timer. Time for the new kid across the street to take over. Kid you've got a lot to live up to.

All those ... moments will be lost in time, like tears...in the rain. Time to die.
