The House that Ruth Built
THIS IS WHAT THE HOUSE THAT RUTH BUILT LOOKS LIKE TODAY. TO BAD IT WILL BE DEMOLISHED SOON :(
ORIGINALLY BUILT IN April 18, 1923(Yankees beating the Boston Red Sox 4–1)
The Stadium hosted 37 of the 83 possible World Series during its existence (not counting 1974-75, and the 1994 strike), with the Yankees winning 26 of them. In total, the venue hosted 100 World Series games.
Sixteen World Series have been clinched at Yankee Stadium, nine by the Yankees and seven by opponents.
Due to the Yankees' frequent appearances in the World Series, Yankee Stadium has played host to 161 postseason games, more than any other stadium in baseball history.
HEY DID ANYBODY BOTHER GETTING THE BLEACHER CREATURES OUT?
