YANKEE STADIUM - THE FINAL SEASON

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  

When the time came to christen the new stadium - appropriately there was much fanfare surrounding the legacy of the original.  A-ROD Celebrities, heads of state, and everyday fans paid respect to the house that Ruth built.
