Because most major league teams, minor league, college and high school teams are on the first base side if they are the home team!! Some teams are on the third base side due to maybe superstition.. that being the Cubs are on the first base line due to tradition.

Condition is very important and minor flaws will bring the value down significantly. Yearbooks in exceptional mint condition could sell for more. Common flaws with yearbooks would be staining, foxing (yellowing), fading color, stains, creases, rips, loose pages, cracked binding, and writing on the cover.

When the old Yankee Stadium opened in 1923, it had ridiculous distances (except where Babe Ruth hit most of his homers). Some fences were over 500 feet from home plate.
These dimensions underwent several changes, the final set transposed to the plans for the new stadium, so that all distances in the current Yankee Stadium are nearly identical to last set at the old Yankee Stadium.
[There is a chart, still on Wikipedia (in green) which shows the old stadium's distances in their historic light.]

Everyone made a good answer to this question. Only because I have the figures on the Stadium at some point in time, I thought I thought I would share them.
Left field was 281 feet
center field was 490 feet and right field was 295 feet. Congrats to all!

Yankee Stadium is a baseball stadium in New York City that is the home of the New York Yankees, a Major League baseball team. Located at East 161st Street and River Avenue in The Bronx, it has hosted Yankees home games since 1923 and has a capacity of 57,545. It was formerly the home of the New York Giants football team, and once hosted dozens of boxing's most famous fights.
Also,
New Yankee Stadium is the new ballpark for the New York Yankees, currently under construction. The new ballpark will retain the Yankee Stadium moniker held by the current stadium. It is being built on the current site of Macombs Dam Park in the New York City borough of the Bronx, across the street from the current Yankee Stadium, which it will replace. The existing stadium opened in 1923. Groundbreaking ceremonies for the stadium took place on August 16, 2006, the 58th anniversary of Babe Ruth's death, with team owner George Steinbrenner, then-Governor of New York George Pataki, and Mayor of New York City Michael Bloomberg among the notables donning Yankees hard hats and digging up some dirt to mark the occasion. The new facility has a planned 2009 opening, coinciding with the opening of Citi Field, future home of the New York Mets. At a total cost of 1.3 billion dollars, it is the most expensive stadium ever built in the United States.

No, but more and more are now. 6 out of 12 (although teams don't play all their home games at the main home stadium). Teams with domed stadiums: Fukuoka Softbank Hawks (retractable roof that is never retracted during games) Orix Kintetsu Buffaloes Nagayo Chunichi Dragons Tokyo Yomiuri Giants (inflated like the Metrodome) Hokkaido Nippon Ham Fighters Seibu Lions (but there is a big umbrella, open all the way around the edges so no climate control.) (more being built in the future)

The New York Yankees new stadium has almost the exact same dimensions as the last. I'm not sure as to how many seats exactly but I'm almost sure it will be right around as many as it has now. The Stadium is costing an estimated 1.5 Billion dollars to complete, but seeing as its the same size, I would assume that the extra money would go into dealing with the luxury department and not expanding the seating capacity.
The new Yankee Stadium has 50,086 seats and with standing room the stadium holds 52,325. The seating capacity in the old Yankee Stadium for 2008 was 56,936.

New York City owns Yankee Stadium, and is negotiating the rights to sell memorabilia from the stadium with the Yankees. As of now it looks like the going price for Yankee Stadium seats from the current Stadium will be about $500. per seat.
