Description

In this history of Yankee Stadium, fans have a box seat at the Stadium’s first Opening Day: The stunning visual impact of baseball’s first true stadium, the festivities, the players (incl. Babe Ruth, who hit its first home run), & the game in which the Yankees beat the Boston Red Sox 4-1. We meet the politicians & businessmen who were responsible for the Stadium: Tammany Hall insider Jacob Ruppert, & mayors like Jimmy Walker, John Lindsay & Rudy Giuliani. Here are the great seasons incl. the cross town World Series rivalries with the N.Y. Giants & the Brooklyn Dodgers. Looks at legendary players like Joe DiMaggio & Mickey Mantle, as well as lesser lights like Jake Powell. Illustrations.
