Book Reviews of Yankee Stadium: The Official Retrospective
Book Review: Yankee memorabelia greats
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is outstanding. I bought it as a gift and now want one for myself.Book Review: Coffee Table for Spring
Summary: 4 Stars
Since I have season tickets to the Stadium this year, I'm trying to learn as much about it as possible.
Most of the stuff I have regarding the stadium and the team is on DVD. I'm happy to add this to my bookshelf collection.
This book has some heft in size but is admittedly light on text content.
That is the only reason I'm bumping down the review to 4 stars.
While I was at the bookstore, flipping through several other Yankees books, this one came across as the most visually stunning.
There are other compendiums of facts and figures about the Yankees that are better than this book, but this one captures what a fan of the stadium will want. Big full vibrant B/W and Color photos of the stadium through each stage in it's history, along with details of the events inside.
To enjoy coach Shula's comment, that he was proud to play a football game in historic Yankee stadium, almost gives you the chills.
A color photo of Babe Ruth sitting in front of his locker, after his farewell speech is truly legendary.
OK. I knew the Stadium had a history of hosting boxing matches, but soccer!?
There is a similar yet smaller softbound version, published at an earlier time. This larger one, with many more pages, is worth the extra $20.
This would be a very nice gift for any fan.
This is the kind of book that will be marveled at by youngsters when they visit your house, before heading out to the game!
Book Review: Well Done - Worth The Cost to Yankee/Baseball History Fans...
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this book for my Son, Will - one of his many Christmas gifts; he's a Yankees fan. I'm a long suffering Reds fan, but can't blame him. Unlike my team over the past ten-plus years, the Yanks management wants to win.
At any rate, I have to say that I've always been somewhat of a Yankees' fan as well - this speaks to my appreciation for baseball history. Yankee Stadium plays a LARGE part of that.
This book covers so much of Yankees' history in that stadium, as well as other memorable sporting events. This is worth the cost for the book, and my son appreciates it very much.
