Lot 347: Blue Prints for Old Yankee Stadium

ITEM DESCRIPTION

 
Reserve: $25.00
Winning Bid: $431.27
Price Realized: $515.37
Auction Date:9/10/2005 9:00 PM EST

The true fan's dream -- to be part of Yankee Stadium before the first game (and win, against the Boston Red Sox!) was ever played. These blue prints offer a nostalgic scope of "the house that Ruth built." Except it wasn't the Bambino who actually built it; the Osborn Engineering Company approved these plans on July 12, 1922, as an official stamp reveals, and the copyright, by The American Bridge Company, was 1922. Although a bit beaten up, and some fraying and tearing around the edges, this is a must -have for any fan. Spread these out on the floor, and see the dreams before they were reality.
