We remember today that Yankee Stadium opened in 1923 and Babe Ruth hit a 3-run homer.
Who else?
We are now in the 3rd edition of Yankee Stadium.
The first one saw the team win 24 championships, including 5 in a row from 1949 to 1953.
The stadium was shut down after the 1974 season for renovations. The Yankees actually played at Shea Stadium in 1975 and came back to play in a World Series in 1976, 1977, 1978, 1981, 1996, 1998, 1999, 2000 and 2001.
The second one closed after the 2008 season.
The third one opened in 2009 and the Yankees won the World Series.
The Yankees have a flag in each of the 3 parks, another amazing accomplishment by the top franchise in US sports history.
