Sadly, the historic stadium will close following the 2008 baseball season. But it will never be forgotten.

In Memories of Yankee Stadium, award-winning columnist and best-selling author Scott Pitoniak provides fans with hundreds of anecdotes about the iconic ballpark through the eyes of both those who performed there and those who were spectators. The book includes an impressive mix of well-known people, including Mickey Mantle, Bob Costas, Billy Crystal, and Keith Olbermann. But the voices of the unfamous are also present in this oral history. Fans, announcers, organists, 9/11 survivors, and others talk about their favorite memories of the ballpark and what impact it has had on their lives.

WOW

Joe Torre wrote the forward and speaks about being at Yankee Stadium when Don Larsen pitched a perfect game against the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1956. I was just 10 years old then and I also saw that game. Like Joe Torre I also saw David Wells and David Cone pitch perfect games. I saw Roger Marris hit number 61 and many great plays and victory celebrations. In this book, baseball players and athletes in other sports, fans, media folk share their memories. Their stories stir up memories and make me thankful to all the players on Yankee teams who work so had to be the best and who bring such joy to their fans and add to that positive energy that resides in the stadium.
