Closing Ceremony at Yankee Stadium
June 16, 2008, 7:09 amFrom George King III (NY Post):
Former Yankee and Houston resident Chuck Knoblauch and his 21/2-year-old son, Jake, were on the field during batting practice yesterday. Jake had his picture taken with Jeter and Posada.
Knoblauch, who testified in front of Congress after being named in the Mitchell Report, could be called as a witness with Andy Pettitte if the feds prosecute Roger Clemens for perjury. Knoblauch didn’t discuss that situation.
He said he was looking forward to being part of the closing ceremony at Yankee Stadium in November when the club wants to have every living Yankee on hand.
Sorry if this is old news to some of you, but I haven’t heard of these plans before. Having every living Yankee (current and former) on the field for the closing ceremony would probably be the best possible way to end things. It’ll certainly be a heartfelt moment to see some of those guys back together again (I hope they don’t leave out guys like Kevin Brown… uh, yeah).
i just read this too. you think pavano will be invited?!!?

Are there going to be any events or parties surrounding closing day that I could try to get invited to or pay to get into?
if you’re referring to the last home game played at the stadium, then i’m uncertain. the information regarding this event has also been kept under wraps and there’s not much out there right now about parties or special events, in particular. thanks for stopping by.
