I made my favorite stadium, the REAL Yankee Stadium of the Ruth, Gehrig, Dimaggio, Berra, Mantle era.

Yankee Stadium

I agree that's the real one. When Yankee Stadium opened in 1923, dead center was 490 feet from home plate! When I was obsessed with the Yankees in the late 1950s and early 1960s, dead center was 461 feet, as shown in the ballpark on my layout. That deep center field enabled one of the most exciting plays to happen: the inside the park homerun. Mantle in his prime was good for a couple of them per year.
