Default Yankee Stadium

Man I love Fenway and Wrigley BUT Ya gotta love all the historic stuff ESPN is showing regarding THE STADIUM...I never knew about the private captains room of Gehrig, Munson and Jeter. How about all the famous HR's they just showed in the HR Derby pregame show?!

I hope many of you had the opportunity to have gone to a game there.
To all: enjoy the HR Derby and the All Star game from the best sports venue in the world as ESPN just stated!

They ought to measure the true distances down the rf line and ,most importantly---straight away right.


Old photos show straight away right before the renovations was 344 feet.

That's mighty short.

I think it's even shorter .

If I didn't hate the Yankees so much I might actually like the place.

In the old Stadium right field foul line was 296 feet.
