+++++ What Thomas Kinkade said about this work +++++
"No one ever forgets their first visit to Yankee Stadium - I certainly remember mine. The
color, the noise, and the nearness of history ... the spectacle takes your breath away.
In 2008, Yankee Stadium, the greatest cathedral to the game of baseball, will
close its doors forever. I could not let such a historic moment pass without honoring it
in my way. This is the original Yankee Stadium - the house that Ruth built.
Because this is a distant view, you can people the field with Yankee heroes of your
choosing. Could that be Lou Gehrig on first base? Babe Ruth in right field? Joe DiMaggio
patrolling center? For eighty-five years, some of the greatest players in the game have
called Yankee Stadium home."
