"Yankee Stadium," called “The House that Ruth Built” after the iconic Babe Ruth, as well as “The Stadium,” “The Big Ballpark in the Bronx,” and “The Cathedral of Baseball,” was world famous, and was home to the powerhouse New York Yankees for more than eight decades. The first ballpark to be called a stadium because of its enormous size, will be torn down after its 2008 season and replaced by a new, adjacent stadium in 2009. The former location will be honored with a park including 12,000 trees planted in the shape of the beloved stadium.
