The New York Yankees play their final regular-season game at Yankee
Stadium today. Here’s a look at how The Times covered the first game in
the House That Ruth Built, a victory over the Boston Red Sox.

New York will finish the regular season at Boston. Seems ridiculous
that the schedule could not have been worked out so the Yankees and Red
Sox could close the season and the ballpark in style by playing in New
York.
