Product Description:
A nostalgic and reverent look at The House That Ruth Built -- the most famous and historic baseball stadium in professional sports
Relive 85 years of memories in Yankee Stadium with a DVD highlighting the Golden Age of Yankee stadium, exclusively produced for Yankee Stadium: A Tribute and narrated by legendary Hall of Famer Reggie Jackson.
Since its opening in 1923, Yankee Stadium has been the scene of 26 championship titles and some of the greatest achievements in baseball history, including Babe Ruth's 60th home run during the 1927 season, the race fro the home run title between teammates Roger Maris and Mickey Mantle, Jim Abbott's 1993 no-hitter, and Aaron Boone's 2006 game-winning run against the Red Sox to clinch the American League Championship Series. Yankee Stadium: A Tribute is a celebration of this great landmark and its history, a beautiful piece of nostalgia for the missions of fans who have visited baseball's most celebrated ballpark.
The House That Ruth Built was the stage for scores of other athletic events, including football and boxing. It has played host to some of the world's most important cultural events, including the very first papal mass in North America in 1965 and the very first memorial service for the victims of the September 11, 2001, attacks.
Yankee Stadium: A Tribute -- written with the cooperation of key Yankee players from the past and present -- celebrates this great monument and the unforgettable events of its 85-year history.

This is the best of the handful of Yankee Stadium books that came out in 2008 -- the Yankees' swansong season in the Babe's house. It's a treasure chest of the 50 or so greatest moments in Yankee Stadium history, from Ruth's christening blast in 1923 to Joe Louis' kayo of Max Schmeling to the heroics of Reggie, Wells, Boone, and Jeter. Besides the stories, the book includes great photos and special commentary from many Yankee greats. The book's accompanying DVD, The Golden Age of Yankee Stadium, is a terrific bonus. Narrator Reggie Jackson is earnestly nostalgic as he relives the magical days of Yankee Stadium, from the 1920s to the '60s. Includes a lot of cool footage that probably very few people have ever seen before. A wonderful stroll into the past....

I heartily second what Kristie said here. The DVD included with this book is worth the price of admission to a luxury box. Mel Allen's World Series recaps are remarkable -- the film editing is much better than I remember. These aren't just the clips we've seen for years. These show entire at-bats. I especially loved the shot of Dodger Eddie Miksis running all over the Yankee Stadium outfield trying to track down a fly ball. And the Pope, Billy Graham and Joe Louis are here, too. Wonderful.

I viewed all the various books commemorating Yankee Stadium (there's four) and this one is the best by far. It's a coffee table book with extraordinary photos, some I've never seen elsewhere. Not only are the 200 or so photos outstanding, there are about 50 chapters with great historical facts, figures and wonderful baseball writing. The real highlight of this book, however is the DVD. It's an hour long and narrated by Reggie Jackson. Talk about learning and enjoying a new aspect of an old thing (the Stadium), that's the DVD's strength. There's rare moments with Casey Stengel, the Babe, Joe DiMaggio, Mickey Mantle. Every Yankee fan deserves to have this book.

Those who are faithful followers of our poetic prose know we know as much about baseball as we do the inner working of parasitic eco-systems. But we did grow up in New York, and we are keen enough to know Yankee Stadium is more than the place where Marilyn's hubby once played. We must admit that rifling through this tome did prove interesting . . . so that's what Babe Ruth looked it! (We only knew the Babe as an incredible crunchy log o' candy.) There are touching (Lou Gehrig's farewell speech) and campy (teammates Phil Ruzzoto and Yogi Berra smooching Hank Bauer) Kodak moments. For those who refuse to read, pop in the bonus DVD; the documentary, hosted by Reggie Jackson, offers front-row seats to the palace that will forever close its doors when its replacement opens subsequent year.
