THE HOUSE THAT RUTH BUILT . Oil on canvas. 36 " x 48"
The most storied stadium in major-league baseball, Yankee Stadium has served as home for the legendary New York Yankees teams of the 20th century as well as most of the brightest stars in baseball, including Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Joe DiMaggio, Mickey Mantle, Ron Guidry, and Reggie Jackson. Indeed, it's known around the world as "The House That Ruth Built," thanks to the large crowds that headed up to the Bronx after Yankee Stadium opened in April 18, 1923, with Babe Ruth as the marquee player, against the Boston Red Sox. |
