Julia Ruth Stevens, 92, threw out the ceremonial first pitch in the final game at Yankee Stadium, the house her father built. From mlb.com:
Ruth Stevens still has memories of her father slamming long home runs, starting with 1927 in Yankee Stadium. And even though it's terrible to think the ballpark has reached its final days, she understands that this moment had to come at some point.
"I am very sad that Yankee Stadium is not going to be in existence any longer," Ruth Stevens said. "I wish it could have remained as a New York landmark, but I guess, like all things, it has come to its final days and it has to go. But I'll always have the memories of my father hitting those home runs out into the bleachers. And I have a lot of his pictures, and I'll just remember those, and the glory days of the old Yankee Stadium. And I hope the new Yankee Stadium brings good luck to the Yankees."

It is sad, but memories of the greatest baseball player would never be forgotten.
