Yankee Stadium

The current stadium continues to see a high number of home runs hit into the right field seats.

A Lou Gehrig Memorial Ticket Stub from July 4th 1941 is worth between $500.-$750. Condition is very important. A stub in near/mint condition could sell for more. On June 2, 1941 Lou Gehrig succumbed to amyotrophic lateral sclerosis at age 37. One month later, on July 4th, a special memorial was held at Yankee Stadium where Lou Gehrig's immortal number "4" was retired forever. A full ticket from this game will sell for $4,000 and up.

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.]
