Yankee Stadium

A sense of history

The photo shows that it's World Series time at Yankee Stadium again. Doesn't it seem like it's always World Series time in the House That Ruth Built? When you walk into this stadium, the sense of history is almost overwhelming. You have Monument Park, the stands into which Reggie Jackson smashed three World Series homers on three swings, and the field where Joe DiMaggio once roamed. If you stop and think about it, is there any more impressive statement in all of sports than this? Since the Yankees moved into the original Yankee Stadium in 1923, they've been World Series champs an astonishing 26 times! (In second place during this period are the Cardinals with nine.) We have a chronological series of photos taken at a World Series game in New York in a section called, fascinatingly enough, BASEBALLPARKS.COM visits the Bronx for the World Series.

Good tickets are hard to come by here, so for the best seats at Yankee Stadium, check this out. And for an unforgettable poster of this incredible stadium (at World Series time, of course), check out the Grand Slam Mall.
