Final Stadium game to be on ESPN

According to Peter Abraham, ESPN has snatched up the final game at Yankee Stadium, moving it from 1:05 p.m. to 8:05 p.m.

This is obviously just an attempt to get ratings after the NFL season begins.

Hopefully the YES Network still broadcasts the pregame ceremonies because I'm sure they would do a much better job reaching the home fans than ESPN ever could. The last thing I want to hear is Jon Miller and Joe Morgan talking about their Yankee Stadium memories instead of people like David Cone and Paul O'Neill - you know, people that are actually relevant in recent Yankees lore.

Or hopefully I can get tickets and not care about what's shown on television.
