Overview

It's been eighty-five years since Yankee Stadium opened. Soon the Yankees will leave the field, fans will file out and the lights will fade. But the lights will never go out on the Stadium that has proudly worn the moniker "The House That Ruth Built."

It captures the creation of a home for the New York Yankees that began in 1923 and was driven by co-owner Jacob Ruppert, who envisioned a ballpark grander than any other conceived at the time.

Overview

It's been eighty-five years since Yankee Stadium opened. Soon the Yankees will leave the field, fans will file out and the lights will fade. But the lights will never go out on the Stadium that has proudly worn the moniker "The House That Ruth Built."

Yankee Stadium: The Official Retrospective recounts the story of this extraordinary American landmark. It captures the creation of a home for the New York Yankees that began in 1923 and was driven by co-owner Jacob Ruppert, who envisioned a ballpark grander than any other conceived at the time. It takes the reader from the field to the dugout, from the press box to the clubhouse, from principal owner George Steinbrenner's office to Monument Park. Every corner of the stadium is revealed.

But Yankee Stadium is more than a ballpark. The most iconic moments in history have taken place within its walls: Lou Gehrig's poignant farewell to his team and the fans who would never forget him; epic heavy-weight fights, from Louis versus Schmeling to Ali versus Norton; the 1958 National Football League championship, christened the "Greatest Game Ever Played"; exciting college football games, including the one immortalized by Knute Rockne in which he asked Notre Dame to "win one for the Gipper"; and the unrivaled record-breaking successes of the New York Yankees, from the very first home run hit at the Stadium by Babe Ruth to Alex Rodriguez' 500th.

With the unprecedented cooperation of the New York Yankees organization, photographs have been culled from every conceivable source. More than 250 photographs - many never before published - will allow you to walk in the Stadium beside Mantle and Maris, witness the only perfect game inWorld Series history, and see the Stadium during the stirring 2001 World Series.

Yankee Stadium: The Official Retrospective is more than just photographs. It is also graced with firsthand accounts of what it was like to be there as history unfolded. Some of the contributors include: George Steinbrenner, Presidents George H.W. Bush and Bill Clinton, former Vice President Dan Quayle, former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, former New York Gov. Mario Cuomo, Paul McCartney, Muhammad Ali, Jim Brown, Don Shula, Sugar Ray Leonard, Frank Gifford, Regis Philbin, Joe Torre, Derek Jeter, Don Mattingly, Roger Clemens, Alex Rodriguez, Yogi Berra, Phil Rizzuto, Reggie Jackson, and Cal Ripken Jr.

It has been said that the shaded outfield of Yankee Stadium houses the ghosts of long-gone Yankee greats - at least that's what the players swear they feel as the long days of summer wane into the heated race for the pennant. Or could it be the knowledge that, within those walls, they will always be measured against the titans who came before them? It is the power of the place that led Sports Illustrated to call Yankee Stadium the greatest venue of the twentieth century. And only here, within the pages of Yankee Stadium: The Official Retrospective, can you feel what they feel.

    Great facts for those NY Yankee Fans

    The person was amazed how much he did not know about his teams.

    Great Gift

    This past holiday season I bought the book Yankee Stadium for my daughter. Her 22 year old eyes lit up when she opened it up. It now sits prominently on her coffee table in Red Sox Nation territory Boston. I am glad to say that during her 5 years up there she has maintained her fandom for the NY Yankees and this book helps her to show that off.

    Great Memories about Yankee Stadium

    A must have for any New York Yankee Fan. This Coffee Table Book has some really remarkable photography of Yankee Stadium. The timing of the release of the book was great because this was the last year of the old Yankee Stadium. As a child, who grew up in the 50's and 60's, this one really made me misty. This book would a a great Holiday Gift for the year 2008!

    Great Memories about Yankee Stadium

    A must have for any Yankee Fan. This Coffee Table Book has some really remarkable photography of Yankee Stadium. The timing of the release of the book was great because in September, 2008; the last game was played at the old Yankee Stadium. As a child who grew up in the 50's and 60's, this one really made me misty.

    'The' Stadium

    As a 58 year old born in Brooklyn, I think it's a fantastic book. Anyone who has been to the park will enjoy the book. I did find one error, however. In the section dealing with multiple home runs in a game, it states that Tony L. had one in 1827. Wow!!! Talk about longevity. jb

    I read and early copy and must say how impressed I am with the package. The photos are beautiful and the history of events this book covers is amazing. Its details a piece of NY history about the stadium that is more than just the Yankees. It will make a great gift for fans and history buffs.
