New York Yankees Tickets

Tales of glories past and present loom large in the minds of loyal Yankees fans. The fearsome batters on "Murderer's Row" in the 20s set the standards by which future generations of players would be judged. Babe Ruth hit 60 runs in a single season in 1927, setting a record that seemed untouchable until Roger Maris' "61 in '61." The story of Ruth's "Called Shot" to deep center field in the 1932 World Series against the Chicago Cubs continues to be the subject of awe and speculation. Lou Gherig's amazing career and quiet dignity still stirs the hearts of fans. Yankees tickets sold in record numbers as fans flocked to see their heroes during the trying days of the Depression and World War II. For many, Yankees tickets became synonymous with excellence on the field and history in the making.

Record book battles kept fans coming, and sales of Yankees tickets soared as the drama on the field intensified. Joe DiMaggio's record 56 game hitting streak in 1941 remains unchallenged. The Yankees defeated the Brooklyn Dodgers in the World Series that same year and returned to the Fall Classic in 1942 for a victory against the St. Louis Cardinals. Demand for New York Yankees tickets reached new heights, and over two million fans visited Yankee Stadium in 1946 - a team record for home attendance that would be broken again and again in the years to come.

Casey Stengel's Yankees won a record five back-to-back World Series titles between 1949 and 1953, and Mickey Mantle, Yogi Berra and Whitey Ford became legends. The 50s were truly a great time to be a Yankees fan. Their 1956 World Series win against the Dodgers was made all the more sensational by pitcher Don Larsen's perfect performance in Game 5-the only such occurrence in post season. Those lucky enough to have Yankees tickets during this golden era saw some of the greatest baseball ever played by men who would become legends. Mantle and Maris slugged their way through the early 60s, crowning one of the team's golden eras with two more championship titles in 1961 and 1962. Fans couldn't get enough, and Yankees tickets were sought after by fans across the country.

The 70s saw a dramatic return to championship form, and their highly contentious division rivalry with the Boston Red Sox kept fans with Yankees tickets at the edge of their seats in the summer of 1978. Bucky Dent's three run homer over the Green Monster and Reggie Jackson's follow up run announced to the world that the Yankees of old were back, finishing the season with another World Series victory against the Dodgers. Their newfound energy was a sweet surprise for Yankees ticket holders who basked in the glow of their team's unexpected return as world champions.

Their 90s saw the rise of yet another dynasty as Derek Jeter, Orlando "El Duque" Hernandez and Roger Clemens brought a new excitement to Yankee baseball. Once again, Yankees tickets brought fans closer to exciting action that recalled the team's greatest eras and set new standards. The Yankees would close out the century with three back-to-back World Series wins. Fans with Yankees tickets had deja vu all over again as they watched a new generation of players carry the torch of a winning tradition. Now a new era begins as the Yankees have moved into their new state of the art stadium and have left no stone unturned. They made a huge splash in the off season by signing CY Young pitcher C.C. Sabathia, A.J. Burnett and superstar slugger Mark Teixeira to go along with mainstays Derek Jeter, Jorge Posada and the greatest closer of all time Mariano Rivera.
