09/19: Report: Preliminary Scheduling Places Yankees at Fenway Park for 2008 Finale
Posted by: Patrick
From the Daily News:
The article notes that preliminary copies of the schedule have been sent to teams, allowing them an opportunity to request changes. It also includes quotes from Mo and Jeter saying it'd be nice to finish in Yankee Stadium. I think there is no doubt that a finish in the Bronx is the best way to go here.

According to sources, the Yankees had assumed that they would finish the season at home, and they had planned a host of festivities around the event. Yankee officials declined to comment on the schedule, citing the fact that the official schedule had not yet been released.
Katy Feeney, MLB's senior vice president of scheduling and club relations, said that, to her knowledge, the Yankees had yet to file a complaint with the league. But one source said the Yankees are believed to be lobbying for a change in the schedule.

But I agree. How could the league just totally overlook that?
