We are about
to begin a new era in baseball, this month the first games will be played at
the new Yankee stadium. Very few other
sports complexes compare in the depth of history associated with simple bricks
and mortar. Called The Cathedral of
Baseball, the park served the Yankees from 1923 to 2008 and was the home field
for baseball greats Joe DiMaggio, Reggie Jackson, Yogi Berra, Mickey Mantle and
of course the Bambino, even the ballpark itself has been called The House That (Babe) Ruth
Built.
I found some neat books (and photos) for the memory of the old Yankee Stadium...
The first is Jackie Robinson's disputed steal in the 1955 world series and the second is the 1948 fight between Jersey Joe Walcott and Joe Louis and third is a program from the Yankees 1942 World Series appearance against the St. Louis Cardinals.
