Iconic, majestic and magical, Yankee Stadium was a fertile field of dreams for the four youths in “Yankee Boys.” Shot in the 1950s, this photo encapsulates the larger-than-life mystique of the Bronx, New York stadium that hosted the Yankees’ celebrated sluggers since 1923. Dubbed The House that Ruth Built after baseball phenomenon Babe Ruth, it showcased more Hall of Famers and World Championship teams than any other stadium. Following its 2008 season, it will be torn down and replaced by a new stadium opening on adjacent land in 2009. The old location will be converted into a park featuring a baseball and softball field, and commemorated by 12,000 trees planted in the shape of the immortal stadium.
