Remembering Yankee Stadium

ebook
Throughout the 2008 season, each game played at the world's most beloved stadium brought "The House That Ruth Built" closer to shutting its gates forever. Players envisioned running off the field one last time. Vendors anticipated selling their last bags of peanuts. Fans readied themselves to raise their voices in one final cheer.
In Remembering Yankee Stadium, Harvey Frommer—one of the country's leading baseball authorities—takes us on a journey through the stadium's storied 85-year old history, from 1927's unstoppable Murderers' Row, to Joe DiMaggio's unfathomable hitting streak, to Maris and Mantle's thrilling race for the home-run record, to the hirings—and the firings—of Billy Martin, to Derek Jeter's rise to greatness. The moments and the magic that filled this great stadium are brought alive again through dozens of interviews, a gripping narrative, and a priceless collection of photographs and memorabilia.
As the new stadium steps into the forefront, the old ballpark across the street recedes into memory, taking with it the glory and grandeur, the history and heroics, the magic and the mystique of its nearly nine decade-long life. This book captures that time and is at once an album, a keepsake, and a record of its fabulous run.
