Yankee Stadium

"Since its opening in 1923, Yankee Stadium has been the scene of 26 championship titles and some of the greatest achievements in baseball history, including Babe Ruth's 60th home run during the 1927 season, the race for the home run title between teammates Roger Maris and Mickey Mantle, Jim Abbott's 1993 no-hitter, and Aaron Boone's 2006 game-winning home run against the Red Sox to clinch the American League Championship Series. Yankee Stadium: A Tribute is a celebration of this great landmark and its history, a beautiful piece of nostalgia for the millions of fans who have visited baseball's most celebrated ballpark." "The House That Ruth Built was the stage for scores of other athletic events, including football and boxing. It has played host to some of the world's most important cultural events, including the first papal mass in North America in 1965 and the first memorial service for the victims of the September 11, 2001 attacks." "Yankee Stadium: A Tribute - written with the cooperation of key Yankee players from past and present - celebrates this great monument and the unforgettable events of its 85-year history."--BOOK JACKET.Krantz, Les is the author of 'Yankee Stadium', published 2008 under ISBN 9780061438608 and ISBN 006143860X.
