On this day in 1923 Yankee Stadium opened with their opening home game for the season. Over 74,000 fans filled the brand new ball park to watch the New York Yankees play the Boston Red Sox.
Team managers, Frank Chance and Miller Huggins pose for the press.
Babe Ruth hit a three run homer to win the game and so began the the opening chapters of "The house that Babe Ruth Built".
Among many distinguished guests that day, Babe Ruth takes a moment to shake hands with President Warren Harding.
