Explore Yankee Stadium with fascinating details of construction, the 1970s facelift and the new building under way. Take a side in the popular controversies of Who was better? Gossage or Rivera? Mantle or DiMaggio? Stengel or Torre? Join in Lou Gehrig's tearful farewell and revel as the Yankee Clipper, Joe DiMaggio, hit another home run, and Aaron Boone's homer that beat Boston in 2003. Also included is an enthralling account of some of the World Series in which the Yankees played, both their exciting wins and those rare, heart-breaking losses. Read about the outstanding Yankee teams of the past and present, including possibly the greatest team ever in the history of baseball, the 1927 Yankees; the 1961 team that made history; the 1998 team that set a new standard.
