WELCOME
"The New York Yankees take great pride in welcoming you to Yankee Stadium. This magnificent park, reconstructed between October 1973 and April 1976, boasts the greatest features in comfort and enjoyment for fans while 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 the first of 22 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 line forming a tradition of greatness. Since the reopening of Yankee Stadium, the Yankees have strengthened that tradition, winning two World Championships, three American League pennants and four AL East Division titles during those five seasons.
The 1981 Yankees proudly wear the same uniforms and play in the same ballpark- with the added benefit of playing in a stadium built for your comfort.
We welcome you today to the 79th season of Yankee baseball ... be a part of it ... there is none better."

NEW ARRIVAL
"Congratulations to Ron and Millie Davis, proud parents of their first child, Ellison Mark, born on March 30 at Valley Hospital in Ridgewood, New Jersey."
-New York Yankees 1981 Scorebook & Official Magazine
DANDY
"Dandy, the Yankees' mascot, was introduced during the 1979 season and is unique among the characters in major league baseball. Of course, he delights children and entertains with his hat spinning, mustache curling and soft-shoe shuffling antics, but he's still a little different than the others ... during the game he remains in the stands and off the field.
The Yankees introduced Dandy to help add to the enjoyment of families and children at the ball game. But they didn't want him to distract the players or umpires or take away from the great game of baseball.
So unlike many other characters introduced before him, you won't find Dandy on the field, but rather handing out goodies to the children, posing for pictures and leading the cheers for the Yankees. The next time you see him in your section, be sure to greet Dandy and find out what surprises he has in store."
-New York Yankees 1981 Scorebook & Official Magazine
GROUND RULES
"Foul poles are outside the playing field. Any batted ball hitting a foul pole above the fence line is a home run. Bat racks are within the dugouts.
Any thrown ball hitting a dugout railing or foundation and rebounding on the field is in play. A ball going into a dugout or hitting other parts of a dugout- out of play."
