Yankee Stadium: 100th Anniversary

This course will focus on the early history of the New York Yankee Baseball Club and highlight the stadium’s nickname ‘The House that Ruth Built.’ This comes from the baseball superstar, Babe Ruth and the beginning of the winning tradition of the team. The course will show the history of the Yankee Stadium as a famous venue for NFL and College Football, Concerts, and the site for three Papal Masses.
