10/09: Yankee Stadium Closing Ceremonies Cancelled
Mark Feinsand of the Daily News reports that the Yankees have cancelled the stadium closing ceremonies, previously scheduled for November 9.
Bryan Hoch of MLB.com has a statement from the club:
"The Yankees were considering having a charitable event at Yankee Stadium for BAT (Baseball Assistance Team). However, the Yankees realized that the final event at Yankee Stadium should be a baseball game which in fact took place on Sept. 21, 2008 with the magnificent closing ceremony. Accordingly, rather than having a fundraiser, the Yankees will be donating $500,000 to BAT."
