Well with Yankee Stadium now closed for baseball business, what remains are the memories. Slugger Wade Boggs, celebrated Yankee third baseman, did his part in preserving those today by offering to do a book signing of the the official Yankee Stadium retrospective book at Mickey Mantle's Restaurant.
The book, co-authored by Mark Vancil and Alfred Santasiere, features dozens of great black and white and color photos of Yankee Stadium's glorious past, along with a compelling narrative which will certainly be read by those Yankee fans mourning not just the loss of the stadium, but the loss of an era of baseball memories.
Baseball memorabilia buffs, including the desperate dozen or so people arrested for stealing pieces of Yankee Stadium during the old ballpark's final game, will definitely want a copy of the book as a valuable reference on the stadium's architectural history.
With the new Yankee stadium slated to open in April of 2009, Yankee Stadium: The Official Retrospective, published by the New York Yankees in partnership with Pocket Books, will make good fall/winter reading during the long layoff from Yankee baseball that lies ahead.
