Even people who dislike the New York Yankees must appreciate the rich history of the team and its stadiums. SABR (Society for American Baseball Research) published a book featuring many significant games played there. Bill Nowlin, who must be the Red Sox #1 fan, is one of the editors. The first game played 100 years ago today is one of the games documented in the book.
About five years ago I wrote an article about the Pine Tar Game for the SABR Games Project, but the editors did not include it.
There are actually three Yankee Stadiums:
- The original (1923-1973)
- A renovated version of the original (1976-2008)
- Current stadium built across the street from the original (2009- )
Let's hope the Yankees win the AL pennant so there can be another Subway Series.
