Yankee Stadium Trivia
Construction of Yankee
Stadium began on May 5, 1922. The stadium was built of mainly steel and
concrete. The triple decked grandstand extended behind home plate and up
the base lines. The lower deck continued until it met the wooden
bleachers behind the outfield fence. A 15-foot copper facade was erected
to adorn the stadium's third deck that became one of its most recognized
and grandest features. The scoreboard was located beyond the bleachers
in right field. Given the name Yankee Stadium, it was completed in only
284 days, opening on April 18, 1923.
The Yankees have played in the Eastern Division of the American League, Since the 1969 expansion.
The Yankees have been Major League Baseball's most dominant franchise. No team has won more
pennants or World Series, (26 World Series in 39 appearances!) The Yankees
also have more championships than any other professional team.
