BASEBALL AT ITS BEST!
"Welcome to the greatest show in sports ... the all-time top attraction in baseball ... the New York Yankees at Yankee Stadium. More than 50 million fans have poured through these Stadium gates to see the Yankees in action in the last 40 years. Countless additional millions have watched the Yankees in other American League parks.
The World Champions realize that every other club in the league is out to beat them and that it will be a long and difficult road to retain the American League pennant this season.
Manager Ralph Houk and his players, who comprise one of the most colorful clubs in the Bronx Bombers' long and illustrious history, are determined to add to their record of 26 pennants and 19 World Championships.
All nine league rivals will visit the Home of Champions in the first few weeks of the season. Four big bargain-bill doubleheaders and a like number of night games are on tap for fans before the end of May.
So ... a warm welcome to Yankee Stadium ... and the best in baseball."

YANKEE STADIUM SCOREBOARD
"The Yankee scoreboard contains 11,210 lamps (enough to illuminate a small town) with a wattage of 115,000, with 115 miles of electric cable (enough to wire a destroyer). It weighs 25 tons (not including the steel supporting structure); has 4,860 push buttons on the master control console; and has a total face area of 4,872 square feet."

YANKEES AND THEIR BRIDES
"The ranks of Yankee bachelors have been reduced with the winter weddings of three young Bombers. Tony Kubek, the Yankees' All-Star shortstop now in military service at Ft. Lewis, Washington, rookie shortstop Tom Tresh and pitcher Rollie Sheldon all have taken brides since the close of the 1961 season."

YANKS STAR IN SAFE AT HOME
"Yankee stars Roger Maris and Mickey Mantle currently are being seen in their first motion picture, 'Safe at Home.' The Columbia Pictures release shows the Yankee sluggers in a full-length motion picture that was shot during spring training. The movie also features Hollywood star Bill Frawley."

YANKEES TURNED AUTHORS
"Three major sports books featuring Yankees were being published this spring. First off the press was 'Ballplayers Are Human, Too,' the Ralph Houk book published by Putnam's and written by Charles Dexter. Scheduled for Opening Day publication was 'Roger Maris At Bat,' by Maris and Jim Ogle and published by Duell, Sloan, and Pearce. It is the story of the 61 home runs and a condensation ran recently in LOOK Magazine. The third book, due this spring, is one authored by Phil Rizzuto in collaboration with Al Silverman, editor of Sport Magazine."

YANKEE STADIUM PARKING FACILITIES
"Operation of Yankee lots and garages this year will be vastly improved under a new management contract. Fans will be assured wide aisles between rows, easy access to and from parking lots at all times, and courteous treatment by the parking attendants.
All regular Yankee parking lots, plus a new location in the Stadium area, will be in operation this year, providing excellent parking at a uniform price of $1.00 both at the Stadium and north and south of the Stadium. The lot at 164th Street and River Avenue is especially convenient for fans driving through the North Bronx, and the lot at 151st Street and River Avenue (opposite the Bronx County Jail) is particularly convenient for fans driving from Long Island, Manhattan and the South Bronx.
As an added convenience for fans driving to Yankee Stadium, the Polo Grounds parking lot will be open every day this season from 8:00 A.M. to 8:00 P.M., and until after the close of any night event at Yankee Stadium. Likewise, when the Mets are at home, Yankee parking lots will be open under the same schedule."
