This is one of those relatively rare days when all three New York-area tabloids used the same headline on their back pages.
The Post and Daily News spelled it differently than Newsday, but it was the same sentiment.
Last time I remember this happening was when Endy Chavez had a big late-game hit and everyone went with "Happy Endy," or words to that effect.

Great article by Mushnik about the last Yankee home game being moved to ESPN Sunday night.
What an outrage! Yankee fans should revolt.
Mets fan since 73.
Last regular season game at Yankee Stadium (hopefully there will be many playoff games!) and I have to hear Yankee haters Joe Morgan and Peter Gammons telecast?!?
Hank was right. ESPN is full of Yankee haters led by one Steve Phillips!
Neil- I hate to break this to you, but no one reads newspapers anymore besides the people who take the LIRR to work.
It’s great that the last regular season home game at Yankee Stadium will be on ESPN in primetime. It should make for a fitting farewell to a national audience. The Yankees play in New York, but do have a national following.
I know the start time change may be tough for those who are going to the game. I live in Virginia, so I won’t be there. And to those who complain about the game being moved to night, I say: Suck it up. You have tickets to the last regular season game at the House That Ruth Built. Geez.
What's the chances of ESPN should doing the right thing??
I.E.
Bag Morgan and Miller for this broadcast.
Bring in every living person whoever called a game for WPIX or YES and have 'em do an inning or two.
I wanna see and hear the likes of Bill White and Jerry Coleman et. al. doing the game.
No offense to Morgan and Miller.....but this broadcast deserves some Yankee flavor.
Take it a step further, no commercial interruptions.
In between innings should be filled with clips from these old WPIX/YES broadcasts.
(Yeah, I know, I must be smoking weed again).
I would guess none, Islander505? It's all about them. Berman wont be there thankfully. What I'm wondering is this: Is there supposed to be a celebration at the end of the last game, like there is usually at famous stadiums, and will ESPN cover it fully, thus making me tape that game for posterity? I will probably tape no matter what, if I am convinced that is it.
Dear Neil,
Keep fighting for misogyny, racism, and ethnic insensitivity!
I know that the only reason nobody else is writing is because they're not listening to the dreck I've programmed.
Doesn't matter, though. I've nothing but contempt for the WFAN listener.
You're my biggest fan!
Sincerely,
Mr. Chernoff
Sandy,
"What I'm wondering is this: Is there supposed to be a celebration at the end of the last game, like there is usually at famous stadiums, and will ESPN cover it fully?"
I am sure that they will, as long as it doesn't interfere with the regularly scheduled late night edition of SportsCenter, a Bob Ley Outside the Lines segment featuring Steve Howe snorting the lines, or a can't miss edition of Inside the NBA -Summer League in Review.
Remember when MTV had music?
Remember when ESPN covered sports?
