One of the most storied sites in all of sports, Yankee Stadium is a site that evokes visions of countless baseball legends. These two photos display Old Yankee Stadium and a 1972 prototype for the new Yankee Stadium (since replaced). They measure 6.5" x 8" and 8" x 10" in size. Reverse includes: Affixed cutlines, editorial notations, date stamps, publication/photographer stamps and a Seattle Times hologram.
The Seattle Times originated as the Seattle Press-Times, a four page newspaper founded in 1891 with a daily circulation of 3,500, which Main’es teacher and attorney Alden J. Blethen bought in 1896. This is an original photo, in many cases a Type 1 printed at the time of the event. File copies or type 2 photos are also found, and can be distinguished by the markings on the reverse.
