AI notes: On April 18, 1923, the original Yankee Stadium—later nicknamed “The House That Ruth Built”—officially opened in the Bronx, New York. The New York Yankees inaugurated their new ballpark with a game against the Boston Red Sox, drawing an estimated crowd of over 74,000 fans, a record-breaking attendance for baseball at the time. Appropriately, Babe Ruth provided the defining moment of the day: in the third inning, he hit a three-run home run into the right-field stands, leading the Yankees to a 4–1 victory. The stadium was a revolutionary sports venue for its era, being the first triple-decked ballpark in the United States, and it quickly became a symbol of baseball’s growing popularity in the 1920s. Its opening solidified the Yankees as the sport’s premier franchise and marked the beginning of a dynasty.
