Memories of Yankee Stadium

When it was completed in the spring of 1923, it was regarded as one of America's true architectural marvels-a ballpark that, in time, would rival the Roman Coliseum. In the 84 years since Babe Ruth christened it with a home run, Yankee Stadium has became the most famous sports venue in America, if not the world, playing host to the New York Yankees, the most successful sports franchise of all time. But the big ballpark in the South Bronx hasn't just housed baseball icons such as Ruth, Gehrig, DiMaggio, and Mantle.
