The original Yankee stadium is a landmark. Built in the 1920's, people from around the world have made the pilgrimage. Certainly it is a right of passage for any New Yorker to make the trip. I remember my dad taking my brother and I to games when I was a kid. Back then there were coupons on milk containers that you could cut out and add up to discount a child admission. The stadium seemed like the biggest place on earth. The lights, the field, & of course the Yankees. I always thought those pinstripe navy/gray uniforms were so cool! Then again - I did go on to work in the fashion industry, but I know you all love the uniforms too! The Yankees have an excellent website with more information that you thought you ever wanted to know. Click - YANKEE STADIUM
