About this product

Product Information

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 Retrospectiverecounts 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 in World Series history, and see the Stadium during the stirring 2001 World Series.Yankee Stadium: The Official Retrospectiveis 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 ofYankee Stadium: The Official Retrospective, can you feel what they feel.

Yankee Stadium- Official Retrospective
Being that this book is the official retrospective, the authors of the book are very descriptive in detail of the old ballpark. For those that don't know the history of this classic park, you'll enjoy reading this book. Yankee Stadium was not just a ballpark for the Yankees, concerts have played there; the Pope gave Mass there; the New York football Giants called this place once home. For those who aren't readers, there are beautiful pictures, some never before seen, images that you will soon not forget. I am a big fan of the New York Yankees. I've been to this park as boy all the way to my adulthood. I will miss this ballpark immensely. For those that haven't been there, while you still can, go there. If not, the book will be the next best thing to being at "The House That Ruth Built."Being that this book is the official retrospective, the authors of the book are very descriptive in detail of the old ballpark.

I saw it in Wal-Mart for $35 and found it interesting.
I like all the photographs of the stadium and all the details; like the offices, the locker room, and all the events that happened. There were rock concerts, football games, old time players like Mickey Mantle, Roger Maris, Yogi Berra, Babe Ruth, Lou Gerig, etc. There even was a photo of President George Bush Pitching. Why I bought it was because it was ten dollars cheaper and it was the stadium's final year.I like all the photographs of the stadium and all the details; like the offices, the locker room, and all the events that happened.

Yankee Stadium (2008) memories book
Photographs are vivid and so clear. The people look as if they could jump off the page and have a conversation with you! The pictures are that sharp! And it is filled with so much information and quotes from many celebrities who have been a part of its history or are now affiliated with the Yankees organization. Any Yankees fan would be thrilled to own this beautifully composed tribute to an era gone by.Photographs are vivid and so clear.
