Diamonds aren’t forever. After the 2008 season, the seemingly immortal “House That Ruth Built” will shut its gates forever—to be replaced by a brand-new stadium just a homer’s length away. As if anything could ever replace Yankee Stadium in the hearts and memories of New York Yankees’ fans.

Memories are what this book is about. From the moment it opened on April 18, 1923, Yankee Stadium was a phenomenon: It was more than double the size of any ballpark at the time. And what was happening on the field was just as phenomenal. In the third inning of that opening-day game, Babe Ruth hit the home run he deemed the most satisfying of his career. That fall, the stadium hosted the first of the many World Series games that would be played there over the ensuing 85 years.

And that, of course, was just the beginning. Remembering Yankee Stadium brilliantly and beautifully documents the stadium’s entire career through a decade-by-decade account, a priceless collection of historical photographs, and, most movingly, the vivid, first-person reminiscences of the people to whom this “citadel of sport” has meant so much: entertainers and politicians, broadcasters and sportswriters, players and fans. No Yankees fan—no baseball fan—will be able to resist this incredible book.

My Yankee Cap is tipped to Harvey Frommer who has outdone himself once again."-BEHINDTHEBOMBERS.COM

Great book, Great Vendor

Reviewed in the United States on April 1, 2014

Verified Purchase

This book was great! I ordered this at the last minute for a friend because I had order the same book from Barnes & Nobles with disastrous results. This book was no longer in print and was sold via a shop on the Barnes & Noble website. I ended up with a copy that was in such poor condition it couldn't be given as a gift. The spine was separated, pages were town and the vendor sent it media mail which took 2 weeks to get to me. Luckily, this vendor on Amazon saved the day. I received this book within a few days and it was in perfect condition based on their description. It was well packaged to ensure that no damage would occur during shipping. Anyone who is a fan of the Yankees would love to have this book, it's great. Just be sure to buy it here!

Yankee Stadium Lives Forever In These Pages

Reviewed in the United States on October 3, 2008

I remember the first time I walked into Yankee Stadium in 1960. It was larger than life, captivating and thrilling. The facade, the field, the sounds, the smells. Later I became a Mets fan, and experienced the same sensation upon entering Shea Stadium. To this very day,I have never lost that feeling of expectation when entering a ballpark. The little boy in me has never left. Over the past two weeks, New York City has lost both of these Baseball landmarks. The final games have been played, and they will fade into history. That's why Harvey Frommer's "Remembering Yankee Stadium" is a welcome addition to my Baseball library. It captures the essence and magic of Yankee Stadium. The winning combination of outstanding photographs and engaging annecdotes allow the reader to experience once again the excitement that permeated Yankee Stadium. Great books engage, entertain, and teach. They're like a friend that's always there for you. This is a great book.

Remembering Yankee Stadium Book

Reviewed in the United States on November 26, 2009

Whether you are a Yankee fan or not, this is one gorgeous book. Quality binding and printing. Photographs are excellent quality. Great for the coffee table. Bought this for my husband for Christmas 2008 and my son wanted one too--will probably be buying another one this Chrstmas for him! There are lots of Yankee books out there but none quite like this. Would recommend to anybody who has a true Yankee fan to buy a gift for.

What's not to like about a history of Yankee Stadium. As others have said, there are a multitude of books, but this one is great as an oral history.

We gave my father (a lifelong Yankee fan) this book for Christmas and I know I can now never match the enthusiasm he had for this book with anything else. True Yankee fans will definately love this book.

almost perfect

Reviewed in the United States on January 18, 2009

For any Yankees fanatic, this is a first-rate compendium of all things Yankee, and is interesting and entertaining even if you're a Red Sox fan. My copy, purchased for a gift, came on time and wrapped to endure any major disaster, but the jacket was slightly ripped and the cover dented. Fortunately, the recipient didn't mind.
