1978 New York Yankees Program and Scorecard Notes

WELCOME
"The New York Yankees take great pride in welcoming you to the 'new' Yankee Stadium. This magnificent park, reconstructed between October 1973 and April 1976, can now boast of the greatest features in comfort and enjoyment for fans, while still retaining the historic character which makes it the most famous sports arena in America.
Yankee Stadium first opened in 1923, and the Yankees went on to win their first of 21 World Championships that year. Scores of great ballplayers have worn the Yankee uniform over the years, with the legendary Babe Ruth-Lou Gehrig-Joe DiMaggio-Mickey Mantle link forming a tradition of greatness.
Today's Yankees have returned that winning tradition to this 'new' Stadium, proudly wearing the same uniform in the same ballpark- with the added benefit of playing in a park built for the fans' comfort.
Welcome and enjoy Yankee baseball ... there is no better."
