Vintage 1946 Yankee Stadium Diagram with Distances
The page from the 1946 Official Baseball sports publication provides a detailed diagram of Yankee Stadium, illustrating its layout and dimensions. The diagram, created by engineer H.E. Butterfield, maps out key distances from home plate to various points in the outfield. The stadium is bordered by East 161st Street, Ruppert Place, East 157th Street, and River Avenue in New York City. Important measurements include 280 feet to the right field foul line, 344 feet to right-center field, and 457 feet to the center field. The grandstand and bleachers are marked, as well as the locations of both the home and visitors’ bullpens. The home team dugout is positioned along the first base line, while the visiting team dugout is along the third base line.
