Babe Ruth, often considered the greatest baseball player of all time, is seen retiring from the Yankees in a Pulitzer prize-winning photograph in the Bronx's original Yankee Stadium (current field at right).
The Bronx is the home of the New York Yankees—nicknamed "the Bronx Bombers"—of Major League Baseball.[1] The Yankees have won 27 World Series titles, more than any other team, and their roster has featured players like Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Joe DiMaggio, and Mickey Mantle.[2][3]
When the team's original Yankee Stadium opened in 1923, it was the largest baseball park.[4] The field also hosted college football games, and was the home of two National Football League teams, the New York Yankees (1926–1929) and the New York Giants (1956–1973).[5] In 2008, the park was replaced with the current Yankee Stadium.[6]
