Description: "No sport has mattered more to Americans than baseball - and no team has had a greater impact on baseball than the New York Yankees. Now Neil Sullivan delivers a narrative worthy of this fabled subject, in this history of Yankee Stadium. The author knows baseball and city politics and the connection between the two. In these pages, he tells how Yankee Stadium is not just the most revered venue in American sports, but also a part of urban history."--Jacket.
