After the 2008 season  the seemingly immortal House That Ruth Built will shut its gates foreverto be replaced by a brand-new stadium just a homers length away. As if anything could ever replace Yankee Stadium in the hearts and memories of New York Yankees fans.  Memories are what this book is about. From the moment it opened on April 18  1923  Yankee Stadium was a phenomenon: It was more than double the size of any ballpark at the time. And what was happening on the field was just as phenomenal. In the third inning of that opening-day game  Babe Ruth hit the home run he deemed the most satisfying of his career. That fall  the stadium hosted the first of the many World Series games that would be played there over the ensuing 85 years.  And that  of course  was just the beginning. Remembering Yankee Stadium brilliantly and beautifully documents the stadiums entire career through a decade-by-decade account  a priceless collection of historical photographs  and  most movingly  the vivid  first-person reminiscences of the people to whom this citadel of sport has meant so much: entertainers and politicians  broadcasters and sportswriters  players and fans. No Yankees fanno baseball fanwill be able to resist this incredible book. \"Spectacular new book about Yankee Stadium by Harvey Frommer  Remembering Yankee Stadium.\"--FOX SPORTS.COM  \"In this  the last year of Yankee Stadiums storied existence  Frommers Remembering Yankee Stadium becomes an essential keepsake for wise fans who know that newer isnt always better.\" TIME OUT NEW YORK  \"Sportswriter Harvey Frommers Remembering Yankee Stadium is an exhaustive account of The Cathedral of Baseball and a moving tribute from nearly a hundred voices  former players and pinstripe devotees alike.\"- - GELF MAGAZINE  \"RYS beats any Yankee Book out there hands down.
