ORIGINAL, TYPE 1 1923 IZZY KAPLAN PHOTO OF THE FRESHLY BUILT YANKEE STADIUM IN NEW YORK.

THE DATE STAMP ON BACK READS APR -7 1923, SO THIS PHOTO IS IMMEDIATELY BEFORE OPENING DAY 1923 AND BEFORE THE FIRST GAME EVER PLAYED IN THIS HISTORIC BALL PARK.

YOU CAN SEE THE WHITE CONSTRUCTION CONTRACTOR'S BUILDING IS STILL IN PLACE DOWN THE THIRD BASE LINE. ALSO THE FIELD SURVEY MARKERS ARE STILL IN PLACE IN THE OUTFIELD AND IN THE NEAR BLEACHERS. SO THE STADIUM IS NOT 100% COMPLETE, BUT THE LEGENDARY FREIZE (OR FACADE) IS FULLY IN PLACE. ALSO THE WHITE CONSTRUCTION SIGN IS STILL HANGING FROM THE SECOND LEVEL DOWN THE THIRD BASE LINE.

THIS PHOTO WAS REMOVED FROM A SCRAPBOOK (PLEASE READ BELOW) AND SOME OF THE PAPER FROM THE BACK OF THE PHOTO PULLED OFF WITH REMOVAL. A SMALL PORTION OF ANOTHER PHOTO IS ATTACHED TO THE BACK. YOU CAN SEE IT IN THE SCANS. I WILL LEAVE IT UP TO YOU TO REMOVE. THERE IS A ONE AND A HALF INCH PIECE OF TAPE IN THE UPPER RIGHT CORNER OF PHOTO.

A BEAUTIFUL IMAGE OF THE HOUSE THAT RUTH BUILT...JUST A FEW DAYS BEFORE BABE MOVED IN.
