The Yankees played at Ebbets Field from 1923-1957
Ebbets Field was home to the New York Yankees from 1923-1957. It was located in the Brooklyn borough of New York City. The ballpark was named after Charles Ebbets, who was a Brooklyn Dodgers owner. The field was originally built for the Dodgers, but after they moved to Los Angeles, the Yankees took over the lease.
Ebbets Field was known for its short right field porch, which was only 305 feet from home plate. This made it very friendly for right-handed power hitters such as Babe Ruth and Mickey Mantle. The field also had a unique layout, with the bullpens located in foul territory down the first and third base lines.
The last game at Ebbets Field was played on September 24, 1957, when the Yankees lost to the Pittsburgh Pirates 9-1. The following year, the Yankees moved to their new home at Yankee Stadium.

The new stadium was built in just 18 months at a cost of $2.4 million. It was originally known as “The House that Ruth Built,” as it was largely thanks to Babe Ruth’s popularity that the stadium was able to be built so quickly and affordably. Yankee Stadium quickly became known as one of the most iconic baseball stadiums in America, and it remained the home of the Yankees until 2008.
