Baseball said goodbye to Yankee Stadium on Sunday, ending 85 years at America's most storied sports venue with a celebration of its past and a post-game salute that players and fans didn't want to leave. The New York Yankees defeated the Baltimore Orioles 7-3 in what was practically an inconsequential game, but a sell-out crowd electrified "The House That Ruth Built." Next season, the team will play in a new $1.3 billion stadium nearing completion across the street. Picture shows two fans wearing hats shaped like the Yankee Stadium sharing a kiss on the stands on Sunday.
